I am a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. I have two primary research agendas. First, I examine dating violence perpetration and victimization, attachment, family experiences, and high-risk behavior among young adults in both the United States and Latin America. Second, I examine how sex education curricula deal with LGBTQ issues, as well as how LGBTQ students are represented in the curriculum.
My teaching interests include Introduction to Sociology, as well as courses on deviance, family violence, and interdisciplinary sexuality issues. I have taught recitation for both years that I have been at UNL, having been lead recitation instructor in the Fall.
