СʪÃÃÊÓƵ

Summary

My research primarily focuses on topics within the domains of social and evolutionary psychology, exploring the relationship between the individual and their social world. My work applies feminist and evolutionary theories/models to investigate intimate relationships, fertility, and sexuality. Investigated topics within my research include reproductive decision-making and reproductive health, sexual and reproductive norms, deception, exploitation, and abuse in intimate relationships, as well as romantic relationship beliefs and relationship maintenance.  

I joined the Centre for Culture and Evolution at СʪÃÃÊÓƵ London in the Fall of 2019. Before joining СʪÃÃÊÓƵ London, I served as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Central Arkansas (Fall 2017-Spring 2019) and Lyon College (Fall 2015 - Spring 2017).
