As an assistant professor and chair of the psychology department at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, I teach a wide range of classes, advise majors, and supervise student organizations. My research interests include self-awareness, possible selves, emotions, and social cognition.
I’m a Georgia native who attended Berry College as an undergraduate and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro as a graduate student.
One of my favorite classes: A team-taught, interdisciplinary course called "Adventures in Paradise" that included a trip to Puerto Rico. The course included research on stress and relaxation, as well as some basics of sports psychology.
