Dr. Nolan is a psychology enthusiast (or nerd, ha)! She earned her Masters and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology in the Bay Area after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Production at San Francisco State. She taught psychology at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, CA for seven years before returning to Northern California in 2019. She is most passionate about the subfield of abnormal psychology. Her favorite questions to ask are "Why?" and "Why not?". Her most favorite "person" is her blue-eyed Rottweiler mix, Frances Gracie-Mae (who often photo bombs lectures and videos so keep an eye out in class!). Education is her passion and she works hard to help her students be their best, most enlightened, most productive selves.
