I consider teaching to be a gift. I know that I would never have advanced in my career had it not been for a cohort of wonderful teachers and professors who believed in me. As a professor I am now in a position to play it forward. Below are just a few examples of some of the very smart and wonderful students I've been blessed to work with.

A gallery of some of my students at work and play.

Avril Ho & Analise Gonzalez working on their skin bleaching presentation. They went on to win first prize at top prize in the non-empirical session of the Ohio Psychological Association. Notice how they are trying not to laugh as I take their picture!
