My research focuses on sexual violence, alcohol use, and protective behavioral strategies.
I am a NIAAA funded T32 Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University. I am starting a Faculty position at Bryant University summer 2025. My PhD in Clinical Psychology was completed at the University of Central Florida.
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 secure a faculty position as a licensed, board certified Clinical Psychologist at an academic research institution. I plan to pursue external funding to support my program of research, teach and mentor, and provide empirically-supported treatment.
