Sara Kesl is a second year graduate student at Alliant International University, CSPP. She is currently working on her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Forensics.

At the completion of her doctorate, she plans to move back to the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo) to open private practice and be closer to her parents, siblings, and niece and nephews. Sara enjoys relaxing with friends and dreaming of her future French bulldog puppy, which her poor-student income does not currently allow her the luxury to afford. By the time she graduates in 2011, she hopes this is no longer the case.

Ian Ortiz-Nance is pursuing a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University through the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP). His anticipated year of completion is 2011 where he’ll continue on to licensing. Ian sought a career in the Aerospace business in 1999 which led him to international travel, as well as domestic travel. Unsatisfied with this choice, he decided to return to school and seek a career in psychology. Ian graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CSU Fresno the Spring of 2006. He currently works with a wide variety of age ranges (from age 3 to age 42) and would like to continue this wide spectrum in his own practice.

In what little spare time he has, Ian enjoys reading, spending time with his family, and weight training.

In addition to her internship and classes, she coaches in the women’s basketball program at Clovis West High, where she played during high school. Known as the “organized one”, Janessa loves the ocean and visits as often as she can. She also enjoys photography, reading and traveling to other countries.
