Welcome to my site!

I am thrilled to be a faculty member in the Department of Communication at Western Connecticut State University. I joined WestConn as an Assistant Professor in 2008. For purposes of teaching, I am a communication generalist. However, my research interests are focused specifically on communication in interpersonal relationships.

I thrive on staying busy! As a result, I am always running multiple classes, conducting one or two research projects, reading five or six books, and raising multiple animals. Life is good!
