One of the people I admire in my field is Barbara Fredrikson who was born on June 15, 1964 in the United States. Barbara Fredrickson is a leading professor of social psychology, the study of emotion, and positive psychology, and her research and teachings have been recognized with numerous honors. She is in the actually, Professor of Psychology and Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Psychophysiology and Positive Emotions at the University of North Carolina.
