As a Behavioral Neuroscientist who conducts research on the neurobiology of learning and memory, much of my work lies at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience. In my courses and in my research lab, my students and I ask questions about behavior and mental processes, and we answer those questions using the tools of psychology, pharmacology, and molecular neuroscience. In addition to teaching and research, I have enjoyed serving in faculty governance as Faculty Secretary, Chair of Psychology, Chair of the Professional Growth Committee, and Co-Chair of Concordia’s most recent Higher Learning Commission Reaccreditation Team.
