I’m a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion located within the Department of Applied Health Science, in the School of Public Health-Bloomington at Indiana University Bloomington.
I am an interdisciplinary scholar who studies sexual media and health with an emphasis on messaging for health behavior change. This work is important to me because of its capacity to enhance intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships in addition to its public health implications.
