Dr. Alexandra Moussa-Tooks and I talk about her trajectory from a clinical psychology PhD, to a clinical internship, postdoctoral fellowship, clinical education professorship and now her role as a first-year tenure-track Assistant Professor. She has some great insight into her own favorite parts of doing a PhD (creativity! being interdisciplinary!), and great takes on lessons learned along the way.
