I am currently Professor of Psychology. I have been at MSUM for about 18 years. I am an experimental/cognitive psychologist and primarily teach courses in Statistics, Experimental Methods, and Learning and Memory. My research interests concern the relationships among stored items in long-term memory and how those relationships may contribute to false memories. I received my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from the University of Nevada.
