I am a social scientist whose primary research interests lie in attraction, romantic relationships, and interpersonal perceptual processes. I am currently conducting couples research at Purdue University and assist with a consortium dedicated to promoting research on acceptance and inclusion.

I am an avid reader and enjoy hiking, listening to live music, playing Supernintendo, and watching quirky TV/movies. Favorites: "East of Eden" (book), "Sandman" (graphic novel), "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" (movie), "Daria" (TV)
