**PsychSessions: Conversations about Teaching N’ Stuff**

The PsychSessions podcast is co-hosted by Garth Neufeld from Cascadia College and Eric Landrum from Boise State University. We leverage our connections with psychology teachers from all levels (high school, community college, college, university) and individuals from other occupations to have meaningful conversations about what it means to be an educator. Of course, we veer away from the teaching conversation from time to time to hear about origin stories and the personal perspectives of our guests, touching on current events and topics of interest.

Show notes

In this episode Eric interviews Diane Finley from Prince George's Community College in Largo, MD. Diane is truly a 'jack of many trades,' with varied interests throughout her life, ranging from focusing on journalism from a political science perspective to being a competitive swimmer to being a high school English teacher directing plays to becoming a licensed professional counselor. Growing up in a Catholic family that moved quite a bit between Louisiana and Maryland, Diane enjoys travels and is also deeply dedicated to family (and she and her siblings developed a competitive spirit). Diane discusses her STP presidential plans for 2023, task forces, and how to get involved.
