I am a Developmental Psychologist; I earned my Ph.D. in psychology at Illinois Institute of Technology. I often teach the senior seminar, psychology of women and research methods. In addition to teaching, I am still very active with professional organizations. In particular, I am an active reviewer of professional proposals for APA and MPA. My major research interests concern adolescent and young adult attitudes and thinking styles. I am also involved in studying ideas related to positive psychology: happiness, wisdom and altruism. I enjoy working with our students—we have some really interesting discussions and do some challenging research!
