I have taught more than 20 different undergraduate and graduate courses, including large university service classes, introductory psychology courses, upper-level undergraduate seminars, and graduate seminars for doctoral students. In addition, I have developed large on-line courses and graduate field workshops taught in UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Mentorship is an important aspect of my academic identity. I have supervised hundreds of undergraduate research assistants in my lab, chairing more than 20 senior thesis projects, with several published in top journals. The majority of research assistants from our lab go directly to graduate studies after graduation, and several of them are now tenured psychology professors.
At the graduate level, I have chaired more than 25 dissertation and master's thesis projects, with my advisees securing tenure-track positions at top universities (e.g., Univ. of Denver, Indiana Univ., Lafayette College, Yale Univ.) and establishing accomplished careers in industry (e.g., Meta, RTI).
In addition to academic teaching and mentorship, I have provided training courses and workshops in contexts that include the National Science Foundation Academy, the U.S. Department of State, Miami's Winter College program for alumni, and for some of the world's largest consumer goods and pharmaceutical companies. Finally, I have coordinated a Miami Faculty Learning Community to support department chair professional development.
