About

I study and teach classes about health communication and health campaigns. Specifically, my research focuses on how people perceive media health campaigns and how those perceptions affect health-related behaviors. I am also also interested in how beliefs and attitudes about health affect desires to seek out (or not) more health information.

I teach courses in persuasion theory, visual media effects, and health communication and technology.
