Bio
Laura V. Barton
I have known Rebekah for almost 8 years, and she is the most insightful and compassionate person I know. Rebekah's abilities to be vigilant about the ethical implications of practice and see all facets of a problem, synthesize them, and find a solution have made her invaluable in every encounter, from discussing theoretical ethical dilemmas in class to providing me guidance in my clinical practice. She is also able to handle sensitive issues with poise and empathy. I've had the pleasure of speaking to her ethics classes as a guest lecturer, and it is clear to me that Rebekah is an inspiring teacher who is able to keep her students engaged and entertained while at the same time helping them to be thoughtful and have a critical eye. Her working knowledge of ethical theories and her natural leadership skills provide her students a unique classroom experience where they cannot help but learn.

Rebekah is truly a special professional and person, and I recommend her and her work wholeheartedly.
