Research Interests:
My research is focused on two areas: college student alcohol use and motivational interviewing (MI). I am interested in methods through which college students can reduce the harm associated with drinking specifically the use or protective behavioral strategies. In addition I am interested in screening and brief interventions with college students that aim to reduce the harm associated with drinking. Regarding MI I am particularly interested in traning supervising and evaluating the use of MI with a wide variety of behavior change opportunities, but especially with alcohol abuse. Im particulary interested in studying prevention efforts with college student drinking that have MI as a foundation.

Mentoring:
As a trainer and researcher I place a high value on mentoring students. In my experience mentoring was one of the most valuable aspects of my graduate training and I believe it significantly enhances what one learns and how one develops as a psychologist. To that end, I take significant time to understand my students training needs and goals as well as how they want to develop personally and professionally. Further, I believe mentoring includes involving my students in my work, both training and research, and as a result I look to get my students involved immediately. This involvement includes conducting research, writing manuscripts and presenting at conferences. I offer my students opportunities to be co-authors on manuscripts and presentations and provide education and guidance about the research process from topic conceptualization through publication. I also encourage my students to get actively involved in professional organizations.

College Alcohol Research Team:

The College Alcohol Research Team was designed to implement empirical and theoretical projects related to preventiong harm associated with drinking alcohol among colleg students and MI. The CART is made up of professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students dedicated to the generation of knowledge related to college student alcohol abuse and MI through conducting empirical research, writing manuscripts, and presenting at professional meetings. Further, the CART is aimed at developing students' abilities in conducting empirical research in preparation for careers as psychologists, counselors, and successful graduate students.
