Bailey Coleman portrait with Genevieve Debernardis

Bailey Coleman

Department of Psychology Faculty mentor: Genevieve Debernardis

Summary

What are your plans after graduating?

After I graduate I will be attending the couple and family therapy Master’s program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Becoming a couple and family therapist has been my goal since before I began my undergraduate education. I am glad to be reaching towards this goal already.

What is the most important piece of advice you’d give to an incoming college freshman?

I would passionately recommend talking to faculty and taking advantage of office hours. Speaking with faculty allowed me to pursue undergraduate research, ask questions to get better grades on assignments, and ultimately receive recommendation letters.

Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?

In fifteen years I hope to be a practicing marriage and family therapist. I want to have received my license to practice and be working toward further certifications, such as becoming Gottman-certified.
