After receiving my B.S. in psychology from Springfield College in 1992, I worked with emotionally disturbed children and adolescents in various milieus including group homes, elementary and high schools, and wilderness camps. I returned to Springfield College to pursue graduate work in counseling. In 1998 I received my M.S. in mental health counseling and in 1999 my C.A.G.S. in general psychology.
I continued my graduate education at the University of New Hampshire where I obtained a M.A. in experimental psychology in 2003 and my PH.D. in 2005.
While finishing my doctoral dissertation between 2004-2006, I worked as a Visiting Professor at Ohio University. At OU I taught a number of courses including Introductory Psychology, Learning and Cognitive Processes, Psychological Statistics, and a graduate course in History & Systems of Psychology.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at Coastal Carolina University. I teach courses in General Psychology, Scientific Communication, Cognitive Processes, Research Methods in Psychology, and History & Systems of Psychology. My primary research interests are in the history of psychology, cognition, and effective pedagogy.
