I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of South Carolina - Columbia, and my Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at Augusta University. My interests include nature's effect on well-being, stress & coping, health psychology, positive psychology, learning & behavior, psychopathology and the concepts of grit and mindfulness. 

I have been teaching psychology for over 25 years and believe it is extremely relevant to today's world.  If we have a greater understanding of ourselves and each other, I believe we can make the world a better place.  Besides teaching, I have worked in the field doing counseling, psychological testing, and case management.  I have done research on love styles with Dr. Keith Davis and was also the research assistant for Dr. Jane Ellis studying learning styles.  I am a lover of the outdoors so when I'm not teaching you can usually find me outside playing tennis, swimming or hiking a mountain.   I have a silly side and enjoy doing shows with my sketch comedy group, Sketchworks.  Acting and doing comedy helps me create enjoyable classes by making them stimulating, entertaining, relatable, using real-life examples and engaging activities.
