My New Home

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intend to be." Douglas Adams

After five incredibly stressful days on an extreme emotional rollercoaster, I secured a pre-doctoral internship and will be moving to Bellingham, WA this fall. And, while I never dreamed of moving to B-ham (as the locals call it) or Washington, I can honestly say I am SO EXCITED for this opportunity!

I am excited for two very important reasons. First, the internship is going to be awesome! I will be interning in the Counseling Center at Western Washington University. I love working with college students and am especially excited because they have two eating disorder specialists on staff and work with a campus dietician and physician. In addition, there are opportunities to work the the student-athletes. Yay! :)

Second, Bellingham seems like an incredible town. It is 90 miles north of Seattle, 70 miles north of Olympic National Park, 25 miles south of Canada, 60 miles south of Vancover, right on the Pugeot Sound and just to the west of the Cascade Mountain range and Mt. Baker. The town prides itself on outdoor recreation and open space. Can you seriously pick a cooler town to live in for a year?! :)
