Bio

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist with a passion for research questions about how social relationships may impact mental and physical health. When I'm not working as a psychotherapist, I love refinishing furniture, hiking, and spending time with my friends and my pup.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Literature Review & Poster

Mentee will learn to find and understand existing research papers to deepen their knowledge of a topic of interest (e.g., how might a poor quality romantic relationship impact physical health), and will learn to consolidate their findings into a research poster presentation and brief research talk.
