I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Social Psychology at the University of Minnesota. My research focuses on the areas of close relationships, attachment theory, family and gender roles, emotion regulation, health outcomes of individual and relational processes, and the intersection of social and developmental processes.
My research tends to employ a variety of methods including self-reports, videotaped interactions, experimental manipulations, and psychophysiological measurements.
