I am a doctoral student in Social Welfare at New York University and a licensed clinical social worker specializing in Traumatology and Thanatology. I love to study so, in addition to the doctorate, I have three masters degrees - including one in Animal Behavior. I work in comparative psychology; I study both human and non-human animal behavior. But I often work in the psychiatric emergency room of a hospital. My job is heartbreaking, exhausting, and hysterically funny - sometimes at the same time.
