Welcome to my website.
I'm an associate professor of communication looking for new opportunities to conduct impactful research.

I’ve spent the past decade communicating behavioral insights in 50+ academic journal articles, book chapters, & conference talks. I’ve taught college courses in stats & data analysis using Stata, R, & SPSS. Now I'm seeking new challenges.

In my academic research,
I've studied how
media habits form
early in life &
how these habits
change over the lifetime.

Specifically...

I've researched the role of parents in shaping user behavior. We already know parents are important authority figures that provide influential models for the initial adoption of behaviors in youth.

My most recent research in this area has shown that parents play a crucial role in shaping media use both through transmission of genetic traits and socialization of media behavior.
