About Me<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I received my BA from Hamilton College (Clinton, NY), Master’s from New York University\u2019s Cognition-Perception program, and Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Syracuse University. I teach courses such as: Cognitive Science, Adult Development and Aging, Introduction to Psychological Science, and Research Methods. My experimental research examines age-related differences in working memory and applied research examines effectiveness of intergenerational programs and successful aging.
