Lisa Engle
I am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology at Southern New Hampshire University. My academic and professional experiences have strengthened my interest in the intersection of psychology, law, and the criminal justice system. I currently work as an Office Assistant in a clinical setting, where I have also begun gaining hands-on experience with forensic-related work. This experience has allowed me to learn more about the practical application of forensic psychology, including work involving legal cases, attorneys, psychological information, and research-based reporting. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I plan to pursue a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Forensics. My long-term educational goal is to earn a Doctor of Psychology and continue developing specialized knowledge and experience in forensic psychology. Professionally, I am especially interested in working at the intersection of clinical psychology and the legal system. I hope to build a career collaborating with attorneys, conducting forensic psychological evaluations, contributing to research-based reports, and eventually developing the education, training, and professional experience necessary to serve as an expert witness. My ultimate goal is to establish a career in which I can apply psychological research and clinical expertise to complex legal and forensic cases.
