Bieke David
Graduate Student
Research Area: Clinical Science
I received my B.A. and Master's in Psychology from the University of Leuven in Leuven, Belgium. My main interests during graduate education in Belgium were in social and clinical psychology. Upon completing the Master's program in Leuven, I moved to the US to further my graduate career, working in the Emotion and Appraisal Lab with Dr. Craig Smith. In August of 2007, I obtained my M.S. Degree from Peabody College, Vanderbilt University as part of the Cognitive Science program. After completing the Master's, I joined the Clinical Psychology Program of the College of Arts and Sciences at Vanderbilt University. I currently work with Dr. Bunmi Olatunji.
