I am an Experimental Health Psychologist studying causes, consequences, and maintaining factors of intimate partner violence. I am currently working with Dr. Nicholas Thomson and the Injury and Violence Prevention Program at Virginia Commonwealth University as a Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2024, I earned my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology with a specialization in Health Psychology at Ohio University under the direction of Dr. Brett Peters. Prior to earning my Ph.D. and M.S. at Ohio University, I received a B.A. in Biology and a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
