I am Clinical Faculty of Psychology and the Research Director of the Clinical Psychology PsyD program at 糖心传媒. I completed my clinical psychology degree at the University of Central Florida, my clinical internship at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and went on to complete two years of postdoctoral training at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies in the School of Public Health at Brown University. My research focuses on the intersection of alcohol use and sexual violence, with a particular emphasis on protective behavioral strategies (PBS).

Research Interests
My research focuses on the intersection of alcohol use and sexual violence, with a particular emphasis on protective behavioral strategies (PBS). Alcohol use and adverse sexual experiences (ASEs)鈥攕uch as sexual violence, risky sexual behaviors, and regretted sex鈥攁re prevalent and intersecting issues among young adults. Preventing these negative outcomes is a crucial public health priority. PBS are harm reduction strategies targeting both alcohol consumption and sexual behavior. My current research seeks to better understand the barriers and facilitators to using alcohol and sexual PBS, and their impact on ASEs. I have employed qualitative data collection methods and analysis, as well as intensive longitudinal data collection methods and analyses, with recent projects focused on ecological momentary assessment (EMA). My research aims to identify the contextual factors that shape PBS use and explore opportunities for developing technology-based interventions.
