I am a licensed psychologist who loves to talk about and teach psychology. I currently teach General Psychology and Advanced Counseling/Clinical Psychology. Other courses you may find me teaching include: Abnormal Psychology, Personality Theories, and Practicum Experience. I was born and raised in Horicon, Wisconsin. I now reside just outside of Horicon on my 20-acre farm with my husband and 3 children. We raise horses, alpacas, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, cats and dogs. I also operate a private practice on my farm offering equine-facilitated psychotherapy. I received my undergraduate degree in Biology and Psychology from Marian University. I did some master-level coursework in experimental psychology at UW-Oshkosh before transferring to the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. There I earned my masters and doctorate degree in clinical psychology. Prior to coming to Ripon College, I worked for almost 9 years as a staff psychologist for Fond du Lac County. My research interests include evidence-based treatments, specifically equine-facilitated psychotherapy.

I study animal cognition and neuroscience. My courses focus around these two areas as well and include: Learning and Behavior, Behavioral Neuroscience, Sensation and Perception, Drugs and Society, and Inside the Animal Mind. My lab tests a number of species including rats and dogs. We love trying to understand what animals are thinking! Outside of the college, I spend time with my own animals and enjoy performing in community theater.

I have been teaching at Ripon College since January 2008. My area of specialization is developmental psychology and within that area I teach classes on PSC 234: Infant Development, PSC 235: Child Development, and PSC 242: Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood. I also regularly teach PSC 339: Cognitive Processes and PSC 212: Research Design and Statistics II. My other course offerings during my time at Ripon include other courses in the PSC department and courses in our Catalyst curriculum (e.g., CTL 120 and 300).

I am also the Director of the Infant Cognition Lab. Over the years, I have been able to work with about 20 different Ripon College students on research projects in my lab. Early in my career at Ripon, my research focused on infant categorization and memory. More recently, I have begun working with younger and older children (e.g., 2.5-10 years of age) to study aspects of attention with collaborators at other universities.
