I am a Professor of Experimental Social Psychology and Associate Dean of Social Sciences Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. I received my PhD in Social Psychology from The Pennsylvania State University, under advisor Dr. Theresa Vescio. My undergraduate degree in psychology is from Lawrence University (Appleton, WI), where I worked with advisor Dr. Peter Glick. I am passionate about teaching in a liberal arts environment and teach a wide variety of courses (e.g., Psychology of Prejudice, Human Sexuality, Social Psychology, Human Animal Interactions, Introduction to Psychology, etc.). For me, research is an extension of teaching, as it prepares students for educational and career opportunities after Earlham, as well as makes them better consumers of research.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my partner, collecting experiences, and trying/eating delicious vegan food. I also help lead two community organizations.
