Current interests include understanding sleep behaviors in the college student population, the development of cognitive interventions to treat insomnia, the development of smartphone applications to measure pre-sleep experiences, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic disparities related to sleep disorders, and the intersection between sleep behaviors and alcohol and marijuana usage. I currently teach courses related to clinical and health psychology (Introduction to Psychotherapy, Introduction to Clinical Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, and Laboratory in Health Psychology).
