About:

Lilia Bermúdez was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Puerto Rico, Recinto Universitario de Mayaguez Puerto Rico and her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at the InterAmerican University, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. While she was still working on her master’s degree, she started working as a counselor in a private school, which helped her to realize that many of the students’ problems were the result of family problems. To find out more, she began the doctoral program in Family Science with a minor in Developmental Psychology in the Department of Family Relations and Human Development at the Ohio State University. During her doctoral studies, she worked first in the Sophie Rogers Laboratory with infants and toddlers and then for Head Start as a family service worker helping Head Start families take responsibility for their children’s education. 

While she was working on her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Bermúdez began teaching at Columbus State as an adjunct, where she discovered her passion for teaching and working with students, both formally and informally as a mentor or as an advisor. Bermúdez’s work at Columbus State includes being an advisor for the International Student Association. Dr. Bermúdez also loves to travel and enjoys being with her family.
