Ms. Grimes earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 1999, a Master’s degree in Psychology (Clinical specialization) in 2001, and a Psychology Specialist degree in School Psychology in 2002.

According to Ms. Grimes, her time at CSU was instrumental in launching her career; she states that “my graduate studies and my School Psychology internship helped me tremendously, particularly early in my career, as the work required an expertise that could only be achieved through a period of intense study and supervised practice.”
The Department of Psychology is extremely proud of Ms. Grimes’ accomplishments.
