Dr. Kobek Pezzarossi has known since she was 12 years old she wanted to go into the field of psychology. After earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Lenoir-Rhyne University, she worked as an employment consultant for people with developmental disabilities. After two years she returned to school, this time as a graduate student at the University of Arkansas where she earned her Master of Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, she worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the State of Indiana. Her area of specialization was within the Deaf and Hard of Hearing population in Indianapolis, Indiana. In realizing she still had a dream of a degree in psychology, Dr. Kobek Pezzarossi then enrolled at Gallaudet University's Clinical Psychology doctoral program where she earned a Master of Arts degree as well as a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
Dr. Kobek Pezzarossi is now a Professor of Psychology with the Undergraduate Program at the Gallaudet University Department of Psychology. When she is not with her students in and out of the classroom or attending events at Gallaudet University, you can often find her with a book. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends as well as trying new food (she could talk about books and food all day long if you let her).
