Ph.D.: University of Texas El Paso, 2008
About Me:
Hello! I joined the psychology faculty at UNT in the fall of 2022. After graduating
from UTEP in 2008 with a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology (Legal Psychology track),
I have held faculty positions at Stephen F. Austin State University and the University
of Arkansas - Fort Smith. Success of students is my #1 focus in every course I teach.
Together, we take the course material and apply it to our daily lives. I encourage
you to use your knowledge to impact your environment and be a part of social change.
My teaching interests focus on the intersection of psychology and the legal system
(e.g., Psychology and Law, Wrongful Convictions, & Psychology of the Offender), cognitive
psychology, behavioral statistics and research design.
I continually encourage you to evolve and I work to evolve as well. I am always seeking
the best teaching techniques to increase presence and engagement. My passion is mentoring
undergraduate students and helping them to develop a clear career path. You will often
hear me discuss this in all courses that I teach. It is important to me that students
have goals and visions beyond graduation so that we can plan the necessary steps to
bring those goals to fruition. I am invested in your success! Come and see me if you
have any questions about your career path!
