RESEARCH

I utilize a social psychological approach to understand the effects of social disconnection on motivation, physiology, and health among both breast cancer survivors and healthy adults. My expertise lies at the interface between physiology and psychology with a specialization in psychoneuroimmunology and psychoneuroendocrinology.
