Teaching Experience

I have been a member of the teaching faculty since the fall of 2012. Recently, I have taught undergraduate courses in research methods and critical thinking (intensive writing), adolescent development, introductory child psychology and the Writing Intensive Senior Capstone.

Prior to teaching at the University of Minnesota, I was employed from 2002-2012 as a lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where I taught courses in theoretical statistics, practical and applied statistics, developmental research methods laboratory, introductory child psychology, infant development, and adolescent development at the undergraduate level and behavioral science for medical students in the med school. I also assisted Dr. Sandy Goss-Lucus and Dr. Lisa Travis in teaching a graduate-level workshop on teaching in a professional context.
