Education

  • PhD, The Ohio State University, 2003
  • MA, The Ohio State University, 2000
  • BS, Bowling Green State University, 1998

I received my Ph.D. in Cognitive/Experimental Psychology from The Ohio State University in 2003 and currently teach: Introductory Psychology 100, Learning, Memory, & Cognition 312, Research Methods 300, & Statistics 320, 321.

My main research goal is to understand how people communicate in auditory domains. Within this theme of human communication, my research interests fall into three related categories: 1) memory for complex auditory sequences, 2) perception and production systems, and 3) language and music parallels.
