Biography 

Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida is a tenured, Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Human Services at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY. She is also a licensed psychologist in the state of New York. Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ in 2006 with a background in rehabilitation psychology and neuropsychology. Working at the college since 2000, in various capacities prior to full time teaching, Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida, feels extremely connected and in- tune to KCC students.  For four years prior to her move to a full time professorship in spring 2011, Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida served as the Director of Counseling and Health Services at KCC, a position that was extremely rewarding. Also prior to teaching at KCC, Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida held adjunct faculty positions at Queensborough Community College, as well as in the graduate counseling psychology Masters and Doctoral programs at Seton Hall University.

Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida has been very involved at Kingsborough, having been a co-coordinator for many years of the LGBTQ Safe Zone program and then the Faculty Student Mentoring program. She has taught psychology classes within the Women’s and Gender Studies program, serves on various committees such as the Civic Engagement advisory board and the faculty student disciplinary committee, and has done many talks at the college on various issues such as mental health stigma, parenting, and ADHD and the Workplace as part of Women’s History Month celebrations and Disability Awareness programming weeks. Her research interests are diverse, but have been more concentrated in the area of teaching and learning. She reflects often on classroom practices and has been trying to collect data on reading motivation/ reading compliance in the classroom and civic engagement integration in the classroom. More clinical research has been centered on women’s issues such as infertility and mothering children with special needs. Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida also belongs to professional organizations within her field such as the American Psychological Association and the New York State Psychological Association.

Outside of her career, Dr. Bartolomeo-Maida thoroughly enjoys her role as a mother of two young children. She enjoys the beach and loves to cook, rollerblade, jog, and travel.
