I am currently an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Morehead State University in Morehead, KY.  I received my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Florida State University in 2007 and completed a two-year postdoctoral teaching and research fellowship at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.  Prior to attending Florida State University, I received my B.A. in Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University in 2002.

To date, I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses including Introduction to Psychology, Social Psychology, and Group Conflict and Violence.

My research is primarily focused on applying social-cognitive approaches to the study of prejudice and intergroup relations.  To learn more about my laboratory and how to become involved in conducting psychological research, please visit my laboratory webpage.
