Lab Director, William and Margaret Montgoris Assistant Professor of Psychology

I took a social psychology course as an undergraduate where the professor helped me to see connections between basic social psychological research and why we may do things that are bad for our health. Since then, I have been drawn to the question– how can we use psychological principles to help people to take better care of their health?  After receiving my B.A. in psychology from the University of Connecticut, I completed my M.A. and Ph.D. in social psychology at Arizona State University. At ASU, I also picked up a love for data analysis! I then completed postdoctoral research positions in Yale’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS and Brown’s Center for Alcohol and Addictions Studies before coming to Colby. I regularly teach Health Psychology (PS 241) and a seminar on Social Psychology and Health (PS 356/357).
