My Lab

Purpose Functioning in Daily Life (PFiDL) Lab

I'd like to introduce you to my lab, the PFiDL lab, and my lab's mascot, my handsome dog Benton!

If you are interested in my research and would like to work with me, please apply to be in my lab. I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2026. For more information about the Auburn University application process, please click here.

I recognize 4-6 years of your life to collaborate with someone is a huge, exciting, and nerve-wracking decision. In academia, I think there is often an overemphasis of professors evaluating candidates and not enough on candidates evaluating potential advisors. 

If we figure out that we could be a good fit through the application process, I'd love to connect you with students who have worked with me so you can hear about their experiences. In the meantime, please take a look at my mentorship philosophy below so you can get a peek at what to expect with me as an advisor!

And, of course, please feel free to reach out to me with questions! Click here to contact me.
