I recently graduated in Fall 2006 with my Bachelors Of Science in Psychology, and I will be starting graduate school in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at Michigan State University this Fall 2007 working in Dr. Alexandra Burt's lab.

    In addition to working with Dr. Burt, I will also be working with Dr. Brent Donnellan, a professor in social/personality psychology.  My research interests involve examining the role that genes may play in marital satisfaction, and particularly if people choose spouses that are more or less similar to them on both a phenotypic ( e.g., personality) level as well as a genetic level.  Basically, I would like to see if genes influence assortative mating.

    In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, dancing (especially Indian dancing), photography, reading, and traveling.
