  • Senior Instructor, Psychology

For over 25 years, I have been an Adjunct Instructor at Mercy University, and one of the longest members of the adjunct faculty. When I first started teaching at Mercy University, I taught on-campus courses for a couple of years but eventually transitioned to all online classes.

During my tenure at Mercy, I have instructed both undergraduate (introductory and upper level) and graduate classes. Most courses have been in psychology, but I have taught some sociology classes as well. Over the last 10 years, some of the courses I have taught are “Abnormal Psychology,” “Alcohol, Drugs and Behavior,” “Introduction to Psychology,” “Psychobiology,” and “Child Psychology.”
