Theresa M. Sull earned her doctorate in Educational Psychology, with a focus on Human Development, from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received a master’s degree in Teaching Children with Special Needs from Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts. Her undergraduate degrees in Day Care Administration and English were awarded by the State University of New York.

Dr. Sull considers herself a bridge—connecting research with classrooms and homes—where children learn best through listening, play, and shared experiences.

She lives in historic Hillsborough, North Carolina, along the Eno River, where she watches wildlife from her backyard. Theresa delights in the alphabet of birds, from bluebirds to woodpeckers, and the quiet visits of larger animals such as deer and woodchucks. This close connection to nature informs her gentle, observant approach to childhood learning.
