I joined the faculty in the Fall of 1989. I came from Southern California, where
I had been teaching part-time and completing a full-time post-doctoral position
at an outpatient center treating sex offenders. I received my Ph.D. from
Louisiana State University in 1988 where I majored in Adult Clinical Psychology
and minored in Behavior Neurology.
I teach courses
at the undergraduate level where I specialize in general psychology,
counseling, personality, psychology of women, psychological assessment,
psychological disorders, and clinical neuropsychology.
My academic interests include the
profession of teaching, program assessment, the psycho-socio-biological factors effecting gender
development, personality disorders, and clinical neuropsychology.
I have served the department and
university in a number of ways including as advisor for the Psi Chi Honor
Society chapter, member of Graduate Council, Director of the Center for
Effective Teaching, Co-chair of the President's Commission on the Status of
Women, Chair of the Sabbatical Committee, Chair of the Faculty Professional
Development Committee, and Academic Affairs Fellow. Additionally I serve on a variety of university
committees.
Professionally, I am a
member of the American Psychological Association, the Pennsylvania Psychological
Association, and Division 2 (Society for the Teaching of Psychology) and
Division 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women). For Division 2, I
serve as a peer reviewer for Project Syllabus, a national web-based psychology
syllabus resource.
In the community, I have served on the Tioga County Women's Coalition Board of
Directors and maintain an active consulting practice.
