Welcome to my website! I have taught psychology at various institutions since 2004. I am currently a Professor of Psychology at Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden, NY. I also have experience teaching in China and Taiwan and working for several years in the mental health field. Other areas of interest to me include veganism, environmentalism, animal rights, human rights, feminism, social justice, the democratization of education, open content, and comic relief.

(Talking about circus tiger that attacked Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy) "That tiger didn't go crazy, that tiger went tiger!" - Chris Rock
