[email protected]Biography
Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychological Sciences. My research interests are focused on physiologic stress, depression and resilience in college students. I am particularly interested in how adverse childhood experiences impact mental health and academic success later in life. I regularly teach social development, infancy, lifespan development, child psychopathology, and research methods.Research Interests
-
My research addresses the ways in which the experience of early life stress influences current life stress, depression/anxiety and academic success in college students. I am particularly interested in examining potentially modifiable core competencies, such as executive function and emotion regulation, as intervention targets for decreasing physiologic stress reactivity and increasing resilience. I am actively recruiting undergraduate research assistants who may be interested in graduate school in psychology, teaching, or medicine.
