I am a fourth year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student in the Relationship Development Center, working with Dr. Joanne Davila at Stony Brook University.

Broadly, my research focuses on adolescent and emerging adult romantic relationships. More specifically, I am interested in sexual communication, sexual behavior, and diverse relationship structures (e.g., consensual non-monogamy) as well as how relevant relationship processes effect individuals’ mental health, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. My applied work looks at how we can teach young adults how to have healthy relationships, navigate breakups, and communicate about sex through developing accessible relationship education programs.
