Murphy, PhD
Germantown, Tennessee
After receiving my bachelor's, I worked as a corporate trainer and instructional designer at Sedgwick CMS for five years before going to graduate school to pursue my PhD in Experimental Psychology with a concentration in Industrial Organizational (I/O) Psychology. I have been teaching in higher education for 8 years now with over 4 of those years being full time. I have also stayed true to my I/O roots providing consulting in the areas of hiring, training on building effective teams and leadership, and training assessment. After receiving my yoga teacher certification, I started a company with a fellow yogi to spread awareness of work-life fit and stress management through mindfulness and yoga workshops, classes and fundraising. We now run the website mindfulinmemphis.org to educate and bring the Memphis community together through mindfulness events.
