About Me:
I graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2002, writing my thesis on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and children's television. I earned my Masters in Health Science from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in May 2006 with an emphasis on international health and human nutrition. I then worked for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health conducting research on maternal and child health.
As a PhD candidate, I study health communication, mass media, and organizational communication. I am particularly interested in how public health organizations produce and disseminate their messages and what the potential impacts of such messages are. I enjoy using a combination of methods in my research, with a particular emphasis on advanced statistical techniques. I am currently serving as the post-qualifying exams representative for the Annenberg Communication Graduate Student Association (ACGSA).
The pages on this site include more information about my research and teaching interests, as well as a copy of my CV. Thanks for stopping by. Please email me or use the contact form if you have any questions.
