My name is Erica Wager and I am a Residential Psychology Faculty member at Estrella Mountain Community College and Faculty Associate at Arizona State University.
After I finished work as a graduate student in the Cognition and Neural Systems program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona I moved to Phoenix to begin teaching. I recently earned my Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and Innovation at Arizona State University. I completed my dissertation under the mentorship of Dr. Eugene Judson. My research interests include educational outcomes of community college students in various learning environments, and sleep and cognition. I have also studied how young adults can counteract the effects of insufficient sleep on attention (e.g. while drowsy driving). I used behavioral and neuroimaging (fMRI) techniques in my research under the mentorship of Dr. Paige Scalf in the Visual Cognition Lab and Dr. Richard Bootzin in the Sleep Research Lab at the University of Arizona.
