Bio

Hi,

I am Dr. Maria Lechtreck. (My name is pronounced as if it were “electric” without the first “e”). I serve as a Teaching Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth. My duties include teaching in-person and online undergraduate courses, providing academic advising for undergarduate students, and co-chairing the Commission on Disabilities.

I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My dissertation was a driving simulator study investigating driving anger in persons with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). During graduate school I also completed a comprehensive array of certificates in teaching and learning. Specifically, I earned certificates in pedagogy, online teaching, mentoring, accessibility, diversity, technology, and student mental health.

I earned my B.S. in Social Science at the University of Montevallo in Alabama.

In my free time, I enjoy nature and the outdoors, museums, and non-fiction reading.
