April 2023: Jimmy Enobabor, a graduate research assistant in lab, presented his first poster at the Georgia Psychological Association annual meeting! He presented data which suggests low-cost virtual reality technology can be utilized by clinicians and researchers to replicate feared environments for exposure-based assessments and treatments. Over the past two years, we have watched Jimmy grow as a researcher and clinician, and he has helped us to grow as well. Jimmy graduates from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling, M.S. program this May and has been accepted into multiple Ph.D. programs. He has brought a light to the lab with his warm and genuine nature and will surely be missed!
