“About Us” 02 – Andrew McMillian – Psychedelic Grad Community Meetings Organizer | Psychology | University of South Florida

This episode is the second in our occasional “About Us” series, where we feature members of the Psychedelic Grad team.

 

In this episode, Gabby sits down with Andrew Mcmillian, the Community Meetings Organizer at Psychedelic Grad.

 

We talk about Andrew’s experiences in research labs at the University of South Florida (USF) while earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.  

 

We reflect on some lessons he learned from transcribing interviews and handing out flyers for Gabby’s (Psychedelic Grad co-founder and Curious to Serious co-host) dissertation research.

 

Finally, we discuss Andrew’s future in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and his interest in working with indigenous populations in Alaska.
