Biography: 

 

I am an Omaha native and am thrilled to be back home and especially here at CSM! Currently I am the director and an assistant professor of psychology programs including psychology and applied psychology and human services. Prior to joining CSM in fall 2003, I was trained as a developmental/social psychologist in the lab of Dr. Judith Langlois at The University of Texas at Austin. There I studied how appearance variables (including both gender and facial attractiveness) affect the development of stereotypes in infants and children. I am particularly interested in social development of children and how environment and biology interact to affect behaviors, emotions, and personality.  

  

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my husband Chance and my daughter Avery, going to movies, reading, and cooking.
