Who am I?

I'm recently married and completely in love with my husband. We have a puppy named Bonne Bouche. He a black golden retriever/poodle mix and is named after a black-rind goat's milk cheese of the same name. I love taking photographs and doing artistic/crafty things, but only for fun. I can spend an entire day "playing" in photoshop editing a single image, but I try to avoid that. I'm a graduate student in Educational Psychology, which means I basically do research to see what we can do to help people learn better. My personal area of research deals with integrating multiple text representations. Simply, it means I study how readers comprehend more than one text and what we can do to better readers' comprehension. I'm ABD and working on proposing my dissertation in the next several months. In the meantime, I have an assistantship working with Engineers to facilitate students understanding in a Thermodynamics course. I love teaching college students, and I just finished a year contract teaching at a small private university.
