Biography:

My research interests are in competitive mediated environments, mainly in the trait and motivational differences that exist among individuals. Having recently completed my Master's coursework in the Department of Telecommunications, my thesis focuses on trait differences in fantasy football participation. Now, starting my first year of PhD studies, I hope to continue my research in mediated competition and social psychology, specifically in the areas of group processes and moral choice in game play.

Having graduated with a Bachelor's in Sport Communication from Indiana University in 2006, I was previously a sports producer and training coordinator at several local Cincinnati television stations. In my time as a sports producer, I edited and produced nightly sportscasts and a weekly sports show. As a training coordinator, I organized and led production workshops for the community and sponsored after school video clubs for local children.

In my spare time, I enjoy all things sports and music and am a devout Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals fan.
