Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at Utah State University. I am a doctoral-level Behavior Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA-D), as well as a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of Utah. I completed my BA at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire, MA at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and received my PhD from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My research broadly aims to advance the assessment and intervention of severe problem behavior. Currents areas of interest include: (1) examining variables that impact treatment adherence and integrity of implementation, (2), examining the generality of treatment effects, and (3) assessing the longevity and maintenance of treatment. I am currently accepting applications from prospective doctoral students for the fall 2025 semester. Prospective students can find more information about the current research project on our lab page located at: https://cehs.usu.edu/psychology/research/labs/challenging-behavior-assessment-and-intervention and about the Behavior Support Services clinic page located at: https://cehs.usu.edu/scce/services/behavior-support.
