I have Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Social Work. I have a Master’s degree in Physiological Psychology and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology with an emphasis on Learning, Memory, and Perception. My Bachelor’s degrees and Master’s degree came from the University of West Florida in Pensacola. My Ph.D. came from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

I have been teaching Psychology for over 30 years and I love it. I really like getting to know my students and sharing what I know about Psychology. While I was working on my doctorate I worked for the National Park Service in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I worked as a park ranger in the largest campground for a couple of years. Then I worked for the science division in the park and conducted research with the visitors who came into the park. Let me tell you they had a lot of things they did and thought that make great examples for Psychology.

I love outdoors and traveling especially to wilderness places and national parks. I have a private pilot’s license and used to fly quite a bit but it got too expensive so I don’t do that anymore.

I love animals of all kinds and especially cats. Guess I am a typical crazy old cat lady.
