My Saint Michael's:

Saint Michael's students are warm and caring individuals who genuinely want to learn and figure out ways to make the world a better place. The field of psychology gives students the skills they need to do that as they evaluate and study human behavior in an effort to help others.

While I love all of the classes I teach, the one that excites me the most is Educational Psychology, because the status of the educational system is such a relevant issue. Everyone has a common experience of school, and in this course, we examine the learning and teaching that happens in these settings from several different perspectives, including social class, gender, ethnicity, and history.

Research Interests:

Adolescent Development; Adult Development and Aging; Educational Psychology; History and Issues in Psychology

Student Research:

All Saint Michael's psychology students participate in a research project at the beginning level of their program and have the opportunity to design and carry out their own researchable project during their senior year. Students also have the opportunity to enroll in a full year internship in a social or mental health agency in the community.
