Suffolk University

Alice is an advanced graduate student completing a clinical psychology PhD at Suffolk University. She obtained a BA in English from Amherst College and an MS in medical sciences with a concentration in mental health counseling from Boston University. She worked as a research specialist in Boston Children’s Hospital’s Adolescent Medicine division, where she learned qualitative research skills. Alice’s master’s thesis at Suffolk explored how high school students of color and white students described their ethnicity/race and experienced feelings of ethnic/racial pride and experiences of discrimination at school. For her dissertation, Alice is developing and evaluating a collaborative parent-child anti-racist program for white families. She values using her own white privilege to engage critically about race and racism in her research, clinical practice, and life. Clinically, Alice has experience working at a college counseling center, an elementary school, and an outpatient psychiatry department at an academic medical center.
