As an adjunct professor of psychology I focus developing a cohesive program of research and instruction through which the cognitive and perceptual sciences are brought into contact with everyday experience. Both in the classroom and in the laboratory, I teach my students by elucidating the relationships between their lives and psychological theory. Thankfully, I have already developed a significant track record teaching my own undergraduate Psychology classes and I look forward to building upon that experience. I am also most interested in the mentorship roles that I might be able to assume with students interested in participating in my research program and with students whom I can assist in the development of their own research projects.
