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 one of the CAS Academic Advisors and my department’s coordinator for our Early Childhood Option curriculum. 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.
