I am a PhD candidate in Mass Comm at Penn State. I've spent my career till now working in the fields of psychology and education as a teacher, student affairs administrator, and counselor.
My undergraduate degree is in Early Childhood Education from the University of Richmond, after which I taught 2nd grade for five years. I then pursued a Master's in Counseling Psychology and Student Personnel Administration at James Madison University and worked as an administrator and instructor at JMU for ten years as well as an In-Home Family Therapist for kids at risk of being removed from the home.
I am now planning to study that place where technology, psychology, and education convene from a couple of perspectives. First, my assistantship is within the distance learning arm of Penn State, specifically looking at issues involving faculty development, new technologies, web 2.0, and online teaching competencies. Second, I am directing my research within the PhD program towards ethics, emotions, and mental health/illness issues in pop culture and within the online environment.
