About
MY BACKGROUND
I am a social and behavioral scientist, conducting research at the nexus of Communication and Media Psychology at Northwestern University.
My research focuses on persuasive messaging, including the psycho-social effects of mass media, the role of entertainment in social and behavioral change, and the development of strategies to counter misinformation.
My work has been published in several peer-reviewed outlets, including the Journal of Health Communication, Health Communication, and the Journal of Applied Social Psychology.
