2007-2008 Officers
President
I am currently a Junior Bachelor of Science in Psychology in the Honors Program, with Cognitive Science and Spanish minors. In addition, I am currently a Psychology Peer Advisor, with training and experience with the psychology curriculum and knowledge of research, graduate, and job opportunities. Recently, in this role, I composed a Psychology Career Panel, and have made many important networking connections through this process that would be beneficial to share with the members of Psi Chi. Also, I have been a leader in student organizations: Secretary in RCC and GHCC Student Community Councils, I am a member of NRHH, the "Top 1 percent of Leaders on Campus," am a graduate assistant in Dale Carnegie Leadership Training Programs, and am taking a few leadership classes here at UD. I believe that I will create an environment for Psi Chi which fosters creativity and inspires group members to enhance their learning in the field of psychology by being actively involved in volunteer and research opportunities.Vice President
I am a junior Psychology major
with a minor in Cognitive Science and Educational Studies. I also JUST applied
for the 5-year grad-school program offered by the Cognitive Science Department,
so if all goes well I'll be a double major working on my Masters, with an
extra year at UD! Currently I'm a member of the Chi Omega sorority,
and next fall I'll be a LIFE Peer Mentor for the FYE classes. I'm definitely
excited about being a member of Psi Chi because as a junior, I've been looking
for ways to become more involved with my major, and take on a greater
leadership position. I am very responsible, hard-working, organized,
great with time management, and very understanding of others. I believe Psi Chi
can be a great Chapter at UD: become more involved and well-known, so others
can have the opportunity to become a part of it. I love psychology, I'm proud
to be a psych major AND a new member of Psi Chi.
I am a junior
psychology major, with minors in disability studies and educational
studies. Currently, I am in the honors
program and maintain a 3.8 GPA. I
believe that this shows that I am hardworking, focused, and dedicated. Furthermore, I am reliable, neat, and
organized- all qualities that the position of secretary necessitates. In terms of
community work, I have tutored first-grade students at the Alison school for
two semesters, and I volunteer weekly at the
I am dedicated, trustworthy, reliable and
pretty good with numbers. I worked at a small real estate business last
year for which I balanced checkbooks and handled paperwork involving cash and
check transactions. I definitely feel that I would be able to handle the
job. I am a senior neuroscience major and I am currently working on a
thesis involving EEG measurements. I'm also in the process of forming a
new student organization on campus called the Student Illusionist Alliance
centered around magic tricks which I'm very excited about.
As the newest member of the Psychology department faculty, I
am delighted to be the new Psi Chi faculty advisor.
After completing my Ph.D. at Miami University (Ohio), I
received funding from the National Institutes of Health for a postdoctoral
fellowship at Boston University, where I did research on the neural correlates
of memory with Howard Eichenbaum and Michael Hasselmo. Since coming to UD, I
have continued this line of research. I am particularly interested in the ways
in which brain structures interact to allow new information to be incorporated
into established behavioral patterns. You can read more about my research here:
