I am an Assistant Professor and Director of the Interaction & Media Sciences  Lab within the Department of Teaching & Learning at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As a behavioral scientist interested in the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and socioemotional development; my research focuses on how principles of HCI can be applied to the creation of technology-based psychoeducational assessments and interventions, particularly in the areas of aggression and social skills development.

I am a member of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), American Psychological Association (APA) and Western Psychological Association (WPA). I sit on the editorial board of Intervention in School and Clinic and review for such journals as Computers in Human Behavior, Interacting with Computers, and Media Psychology. If you are interested in finding out more information regarding our programs, my research, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
