NCCCSPA Officers

Brook Cathey, Secretary

Hello!  I’m Brook.

I teach psychology as a full-time faculty member in the Social Science Department at Pitt Community College (PCC), and also hold a part-time teaching position in the Psychology Department at my alma mater, East Carolina University (ECU).  I developed a love of psychology during my undergraduate career at Appalachian State University, where I focused primarily on early childhood development. 

In 2005, I returned to my hometown, of Greenville, NC, to attend graduate school at ECU.  My initial studies focused on childhood attachment relationships, but eventually turned to neuroscience, with a particular interest in the childhood brain.  My thesis investigated how prenatal alcohol exposure effects Eyeblink Classical Conditioning in a rat model.  This laboratory experience led to a seven-year tenure as a Research Specialist in the Department of Physiology at Brody School of Medicine.  I loved doing laboratory research, but missed psychology and longed to be back in the classroom.  

In 2008, I applied for an adjunct teaching position at PCC, and just like that, my teaching career began.  I was hired on full-time five years later, and feel fortunate to teach what I love, alongside wonderful colleagues.  In addition to teaching, I am delighted to serve as Secretary on the NCCCSPA board, where I collaborate and learn from so many amazing scholars year after year.
​
​I am also a proud mom to my teenage son, Ben, and our, golden retriever, Harley.  They are both big, goofy, and lovable.  I enjoy cooking, reading, running, paddle boarding, spending time with family, and of course, talking about psychology and sociology 😊
