Ph.D. Candidate in Communication, University of California, Davis My research interests include the role of parents in children’s media use, children’s science learning from media, including virtual reality (VR), as well as media use for emotion regulation. I am curious about the types of media children choose to consume and how media makers can best support children's use of screens.
Senior Lecturer, University of North Carolina – Greensboro I am a social psychologist whose research interests include emotion, culture, group dynamics, and gender. I have a long-standing interest in bridging the academic-"real world" gap. I have worked both inside and outside academia as a lecturer, public policy researcher, and research consultant. Whether in the classroom or the conference room, I enjoy communicating psychological science to a wide audience. Along with co-author Dr. Patrick Gallagher, I have co-authored a book on doctoral-level psychology careers outside academia. Together with co-author Dr. Janet Boseovski, I am currently writing a book on body image development in early to late childhood and the importance of the mother-daughter relationship in this process.
