Kristi Anderson, MA

Student Division Co-chair

I am a fourth-year doctoral student away at internship in Houston, Texas. I am in the Counseling Psychology program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. My research interests focus on forensic psychology, particularly youth involvement in the legal system.

I am fortunate to be part of Cohort 13 at Saint Mary’s, which I believe (with much bias) to be the most supportive, enthusiastic, and witty cohort to date. In that vein, I am lucky enough to have some very close friends, but also many social communities I care a lot about. For fun, I drink coffee, daydream, and try to convince my cats they’d enjoy walking on a leash.

When asked to provide a photo for the blog, I realized that while I often capture nature, objects, and art, I rarely turn the camera on myself. So, I decided to share a more authentic glimpse into my daily experience—writing papers amid persistent distractions.
