“Dr. Crisp is very knowledgeable about eating disorders, and her passion really shows! As someone who needs a lot of examples, Dr. Crisp provided plenty to help me understand and distinguish between eating disorders versus disordered eating. She was an excellent presenter, and I loved how personable she was. My peers and I had agreed that her presentation was one of the most engaging ones we have had in a long time. I enjoyed learning from her because she makes the information easily digestible. I hope to see more presentations from her in the future!”
