Leck, Gisela

Hi, my name is Gisela and I teach several sociology classes for NCC. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in psycholgoy; I also completed a Masters in Social Work from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. My work experience includes drug and alcohol counseling and prevention, family services, and hospital discharge planning, I am a licensed clincial social worker and have worked as a psychotherapist with individuals, families, and couples.

I enjoy traveling and have lived in Germany and Spain. One country I can't wait to visit is India. I also like going to the movies, hiking, music, and modern art. I love teaching sociology at Northampton and being able to work with students from many different backgrounds. I think sociology is a fascinating field of study because it allows us to see our world through many different lenses. Although my special interest is in mental health, I also enjoy teaching the global aspects of social problems.
