I am a clinical psychologist and behavior geneticist and did my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies at Cornell University, graduating in 1982, then attended graduate school at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada earning my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1988. Following my year-long clinical internship at the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit (1987-88), I completed a three-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Behavioral Genetics at the University of Minnesota. I have been a faculty member in the Psychology Department at Emory University since the fall of 1991. I was President-Elect / President of the Behavior Genetics Association from 2010-11 and am an Associate Editor of the journal, Behavior Genetics. I have been on the editorial boards of four other journals (Development and Psychopathology, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Clinical Psychological Science, and Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology).
