My educational background is in public health and psychology. I've worked at the University of Michigan, University Health Service since 1993. Most of my work has been in the alcohol and other drugs area, but I've also worked in other health areas such as wellness, HIV and sexual assault prevention. I manage the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) and Individual Marijuana Education Program (IMEP), the Stay in the Blue social marketing campaign and conduct regular MI trainings for staff, faculty and students of various ilks. I also train in MI privately, outside of my University work.
