Dr. Moyers is an Assistant Professor of Psychology for YU where she will be instructing
various courses for the Psychology Department. While teaching introductory courses,
she is passionate about making psychology come alive and feel relevant for all of
her students. In her advanced courses, she prioritizes helping her students pursue
their specific interests in the field and pushing them to think critically to make
positive impacts in the world.
Her dissertation and Ph.D. focus was on finding trauma healing options for Rwandans
recovering from the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi. In it she researched ways to
promote communal and generational healing in a way that can work with the Rwandan
culture and context.
Dr. Moyers has been an educator in various roles for over a decade, working with many
different ages, cultures, and learning abilities. She enjoys living and working abroad;
before YU, she lived in Kigali, Rwanda, for four years and in Mexico City, Mexico,

Her favorite hymn is "Sing and Be Happy" because life will always bring reasons to
lament, but with God, there can always be a reason to sing and be happy today.
