Hello!

I’m Annette Ponnock, Dr. Ponnock, Professor Ponnock, or Mommy to some!

I am an educational psychologist, researcher, writer, and speaker. I am passionate about discovering the endless connections between individuals’ life experiences and the impact these events have on their mental health and professional engagement through the lens of emotion and motivation.

I am the President of Ponnock Consulting and a faculty member at Temple University and Old Dominion University. I have expertise in advanced quantitative methods including multiple regression, structural equation modeling, multidimensional scaling, and hierarchical linear modeling as well as qualitative methods such as narrative interviewing, focus groups, and document analysis. I have presented my research at over 30 conferences around the world and am published in various scientific journals including the Journal of Research in Personality and the Journal of Educational Psychology.

I earned my PhD in Educational Psychology from Temple University, my MA in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, and her BA from the University of Miami.

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my daughter, playing tennis, and reading!
