About Me:
I am a third year Ph.D. student at Sam Houston State University studying criminal justice and criminology and plan to graduate in spring 2024. I hold a master's degree in criminology from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor's degree in psychology and criminology from Chatham University. My primary research interests are biopsychosocial criminology and health criminology with a focus on how factors such as sleep, head injuries, and participation in athletics can impact deviant behavior, especially among juveniles. I have also done research assessing the relationship between sports games and crime.
I have taught undergraduate research methods as the instructor of record and have been a teaching assistant for several more undergrad courses in psychology, criminology/criminal justice, and victimology. As an instructor, I strive to take an inclusive approach to my teaching by utilizing a variety of methods to relay information to students - such as traditional lectures, videos, interactive group work, and class discussions. My goal is for each student to feel welcome and comfortable in the classroom while they learn.
I take a multidisciplinary approach to both my research and teaching and include material from criminology, psychology, neuroscience, public health, and sociology. My work has been published in Crime & Delinquency and Journal of Criminal Justice. After graduating with my Ph.D., I hope to work as an assistant professor at a research-focused university. I am always happy to talk about new research projects and potential collaborations.
