Dr. Kimberly Christopherson is an early career psychologist at Morningside College in Sioux City, IA. She began pursuing psychology when she was an undergraduate at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. There she was inspired by several of her psychology professors to learn more about the experimental investigation of human behavior, primarily in cognition and memory. In graduate school she studied under Dr. Mark Grabe investigating the influences of educational technology on learning — specifically the use of online study tools. During her time in graduate school, she also realized her calling to be a teacher of psychology. Having been inspired by her professors at St. Thomas and teaching her own courses in graduate school, Kim pursued academic jobs as small liberal art colleges after completing her PhD. Today, Kim in an accomplished instructor and active in both advising student research and in her own research projects. She was honored by her colleagues in 2010 with Morningside College’s Sharon Walker Faculty Excellence Award. In addition to her love of research and teaching, Kim also enjoys gardening, growing her own food, cooking and preserving the food she grows, reading everything from historical biographies to southern vampire mysteries, and traveling around the world with her husband.
