Summary
My research primarily focuses on relationship formation, particularly romantic relationships, and how communication strategies can influence their intersections with the criminal justice system. In addition, I serve as the Director of the Honors Career and Community Mentorship Program, a high-impact initiative that connects Honors students with mentors in their fields of interest to support professional, personal, and research development. I also collaborate with Dr. Samuel Ehrenreich and Dr. Ashley Greenwald in the Teen Scroll Lab, where we study how adolescents’ social media use and screen time impact their mental health and well-being.
