General Information

Biography

I am an Instructor of Psychology and a Developmental Psychology Ph.D. student. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from Creighton University and an MA in Developmental Psychology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Teaching is a passion of mine and I truly enjoy working with students from all kinds of backgrounds. I have a wide range of research interests but focus on gender typicality and atypicality and peer relations in early adolescent development.
