Dr. Yanowitz has been a professor at Utica University since 2006.

Specifically, Dr. Yanowitz is interested in perceptions of stalking and the use of manipulation in the pursuit of romantic relationships. Additionally, she has recently begun looking at identity and perceptions of alternative lifestyles.
Dr. Yanowitz is originally from Long Island and did her undergraduate degree at SUNY Oswego. She has a M.A from James Madison University and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology with a concentration in Interpersonal Relationships from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

In addition to her teaching and research interest, she spends a good deal of time pursuing volunteer activities. She is currently the President of the Zonta Club of Utica. This service organization is one of nine charter clubs of Zonta International, established in 1919. Zonta is dedicated to improving the legal, political, economic and professional status of women worldwide. Local projects include raising money for various women’s organizations in the Mohawk Valley, as well as awarding scholarships to both high school and returning students (age 25+) in the local community.
