Personal Bio

A little bit about me:

I am a fifth year graduate student in the Social Psychology Program at the University of Florida. I received a B.A. in Psychology in May 2003 with double minors in art and photography from Mercer University in Macon, GA. I also received an M.S. in Psychology in April 2005. I will receive my Ph.D. in August 2008.

Other than three years on an air force base in West Germany, I grew up as the second of three children in Georgia, primarily in the small town of LaGrange, GA. My sister is a graduate student at Auburn University studying Rhetoric, and my brother is a student at Georgia Tech studying Computer Science. In addition, both of my parents are University of Georgia alumni.

When I get the chance, I enjoy learning new creative, artistic skills. I particularly enjoy photography, ceramics, and jewelry-making. I enjoy traveling when I get the chance, and crime shows.

National Science Foundation: Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates:

During the summer of 2002, I participated in a summer research program for undergraduates at Oklahoma State University, funded through the National Science Foundation. This truly was a fun and educational experience. For those who are interested in graduate school, it is a great opportunity to learn more about research and gain valuable research experience.
