Hazel Angela Da Breo, PhD, RP
Assistant Professor, Psychology

View Full Profile
Broadly speaking, her interests encompass all things psychological from both practice and scholastic orientations. Her current personal research is in Sufism, which is a study of the mystical practices of the three Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and how these religions impact the mental health of their adherents. She is equally interested in how the Caribbean’s political traditions have influenced the construction of our populations’ psychological ontology. Her past-times reflect her all encompassing interest in focusing and strengthening the power of the mind, via ocean kayaking and archery.
