Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Anatomy, joined the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. She received a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Louisville in 1984, and a D.V.M. from Auburn University in 1988. After completing an internship at Rowley Memorial Animal Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts, she received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science from Auburn University in 1995. She was a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Kent Morest at the University of Connecticut Health Center. |

My scholarly pursuits include researching the ways people learn most effectively. I am tracking student performance in upper level courses and clinical rotations related to the nervous system, as compared with their performance in neuroscience and neuroanatomy courses taken in the first 2 years of the curriculum. I continue to collaborate with other faculty on projects related to learning and olfaction.
