We asked the members of the 2020-2021 Student Committee to answer some questions about themselves to help you get to know who they are and what they do.

Haley Potts
Chair-Elect
2020-2021

Haley is a third-year Ph.D. student in clinical psychology (with a concentration in psychology and law) at the University of Alabama

Why psychology and the law?

At my tiny liberal arts college, I majored in anthropology and gender studies. It turns out, there weren't many places hiring feminist wannabe anthropologists (who knew?!?!). So, I had to pivot. I almost applied to law school (both of my parents are attorneys), but that path never felt quite right. Forensic psychology emerged as a natural combination of my interests in the law and in the social sciences.

If you could only watch 3 movies or tv shows over and over for the rest of your life, what would they be and why?
Look, I know my answer here should include one "smart" show, but that would be a lie. I prefer low effort programming. My comfort shows are Snapped, The Office, and Parks and Rec.

Is a hotdog a sandwich?
Maybe

Explain your hot take about hotdogs
Can't it be both?

What is a quote you like and who said it?
"When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville." --Flannery O'Connor

What is your favorite take-out/delivery spot near your school/campus?
Surin of Thailand

What is your favorite city and why?
Atlanta, because my nephew lives there.

If you were not in graduate school what would you do?

A preschool teacher. After college, I spent a year teaching English in Barcelona. My class of toddlers was hysterical. The curriculum I taught centered around a monkey puppet, but someone eventually lost the puppet. So, when we began each class with a song called "where's monkey?," all of these tiny humans would run around the room searching in futility for a stuffed monkey they would never find. It still makes me giggle.
