My research focuses on sexual violence, alcohol use, and protective behavioral strategies.
In the summer of 2025 I started a new position as Clinical Faculty and the Research Director of the Clinical Psychology PsyD program at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island.
I completed my Clinical Psychology PhD at the University of Central Florida, my clinical internship at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and two years of postdoctoral training at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies in the School of Public Health at Brown University.
The Sexual and Negative Dating Inventory (SANDI) is an updated measure of dating and sexual protective behavioral strategies.
My long-term career goals are to become a licensed, board certified Clinical Psychologist. I plan to continue to pursue external funding to support my program of research, teach and mentor, and provide empirically-supported treatment.
