Hi! Welcome to my personal website. 

Individual development involves more than aging or reaching milestones, because my perspective is that people adapt, interact, and form meanings/connections across the lifespan. My research investigates these processes through theory and contemporary topics such as emerging adulthood, identity, well-being, healthy aging, and the role of AI. I apply both quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand these areas. I am currently a 4th year doctoral student in Human Development and Family Sciences at Texas Tech University, preparing for my dissertation work and entering the job market

This site is where I archive and share my past, present and future work in research, teaching, and creative projects. My curriculum vitae (CV) is available on the left, and my contact information can be found at the bottom of the page.
