INTRODUCTION

I am a Professor of Psychology at CalStateLA and enjoy teaching statistics and cognitive psychology. My teaching goal is to equip students with modern skills and perspectives that will continue on with them beyond their time at CalStateLA. My research is focused on figuring out how to teach hard things to all students at scale. My interdisciplinary approach weaves together improvement science methodology, technology development, and learning science theory.
