Lecturer I
Lecturer I, Psychological Sciences

• I have been an adjunct professor of psychology for 21 years (time flies). I teach a wide variety of undergraduate psychology courses at various colleges and universities here in San Diego including the University of San Diego and San Diego Mesa College. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology, with an emphasis in clinical psychology. I focused on research in the area of psychiatric illnesses and chemosensory perception, until I discovered my passion for teaching and have never looked back! I have a 12-year-old son who keeps me busy with his Padres obsession, and I am an avid runner, tennis player and playing the piano. Mental and physical stimulation are the keys to happiness and staying healthy!
