Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience

Fun fact

I’m a first generation college student who went to a small, obscure fine arts college to study creative writing, but through a variety of unique circumstances have become an accomplished scholar at one of the best Psychology programs in the world.

U-M Role

I teach a large under grad course: Human Neuropsychology, as well as graduate courses on cognition, and cognitive aging. My research is on memory, emotion and executive functions as well how these abilities change with age. I also served the chair of the department of psychology at UM from 2015-2022.

Trip Experience

This is a part of the world that I have not visited, and I hear that it’s beautiful. I have never been on a cruise of any sort, so this will be a new adventure. I also enjoy interacting with Michigan alums.
