ABOUT ME
I earned my PhD at Duke University in cognitive psychology, after which I completed postdoctoral fellowships in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. I'm now an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the College of Charleston. Scroll down for links to my publications; you can also learn about my current research.
