When I'm not wearing my therapy cardigan, I'm usually trying out new recipes in the kitchen listening to 90s-00s R&B, or hunting down used books. Outside of living my best homebody life, you can find me in search of amazing coffee or delicious food.
Most importantly, I am a Beyonce fan! I have full on Bridgerton fever and have appointed myself as the 6th Spice Girl, Sassy Spice.
Joseph Moore, M.A., Ph.D. student

He is now pursuing a PhD in Psychology, with a subfield of Theology, at Liberty University with aspirations of teaching psychology, theology, and the integration of the two.
