My
interest in psychology dates from my undergraduate major in psychology at UNC

on studies of operant behavior in pigeons. I received a Masters Degree in
General Psychology at In addition to my roles as researcher, advisor, and instructor, I also devote considerable time to administrative opportunities. I serve on the Advisory Board of the Center for Developmental Science the NDRC, I co-direct the NDRC's Behavioral Measurement Core and the NDRC Research Participant Registry.
