My research broadly concerns adolescent sexual health promotion. Specifically, I am passionate about understanding affirmative consent cognitions and behaviors among youth through quantitative and qualitative research methods, and improving consent education for adolescents on a large scale. I am also interested in using participatory research methods with community members, as well as theory and empirical evidence to guide development, implementation, and evaluation of digital sexual health interventions. more
