I am an Associate Professor of Psychology at Winthrop University. I utilize a host of multimedia resources in my courses including Blackboard. In addition to teaching courses listed below, I collaborate with students on research and offer a student teaching internship. One way I apply my professional expertise outside of the classroom is that I serve as an expert on attachment in family court. I'm also proud to serve as the first director of The Winthrop McNair Scholars Program.
Courses I currently teach include:
 |
Developmental Psychology (PSYC 206) |
|
Advanced Child Development (PSYC 411, Fall) |
|
McNair Research Experience (MCNR 300, Summer) |
|
Graduate Application Preparation (MCNR 302, Fall) |
