Biosketch
I have been a member of the Child and Adolescent Studies Department at Cal State Fullerton since 1996. Prior to coming to Fullerton, I received my masters’ and doctoral degrees in Developmental Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles and taught there. I have also worked in various early childhood and supplementary education programs with children from 18 months through 12 years of age.
In addition to teaching a variety of early childhood development courses, I serve as the CAS Academic Advisor for the CSUF Irvine Campus and my department’s coordinator for our Early Childhood Option curriculum. I am also the Faculty Coordinator for the AMISTAD program, which provides cohort classes and transfer support for Head Start teachers who are pursuing their degree in Child and Adolescent Development.
I am also actively involved in applied research assessing needs of early care and education, evaluating the outcomes of early childhood programs, and exploring strategies for the education of ECE professionals. I also do work examining the impact of cultural factors (particularly use of media), parents and teachers, and curriculum on the development of young children. I greatly enjoy working with students on these projects, so if you are interested, please let me know!
