How I fell in love with neuropsychology: I first learned about neuropsychology in an undergraduate biopsychology course and was intrigued by a lecture on brain development. I followed up with the professor after class that day, job shadowed a neuropsychologist here at UNMC, and immediately began pursuing a career in neuropsychology.
