About Me
I have been teaching Psychology at BMCC since 2010. I also teach at Baruch. I am very active with our union, the PSC. I have a daughter that just turned 23 and is enrolling at City Tech for the fall semester, to study Human Services.
Academic Interests
As a psychologist, my main areas of interest are pharmacology and development, as well as learning, all of it with a neuroscience lens. I am hoping to finally defend my dissertation (from the CUNY Graduate Center in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience) sometime in the upcoming school year, after a leave of absence that began in 2005!
