I am so excited to share that I will join the Department of Psychology at Indiana State University as an assistant professor this fall! The past 5 years at Miami University flew by. It is a dream come true to work at a wonderful institution like ISU. I'm excited to continue to grow as a professor!

So thrilled to see this paper in print at PSPR—I propose a new theoretical model of self-protection motivation that reimagines how people might think, feel, and act when navigating self-threats. I enjoy this sort of theoretical work & excited to share it! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

For folks course prepping, I wanted to give a quick plug for my recent pub in PSPB on the psychology of guilty pleasures. The research is a great example of discrete emotion theory and self-conscious emotions, but would also work well for discussing self-presentation, dissonance, and norms.

Tomorrow afternoon at #MPA2025, I’ll be giving a talk on my recent research examining the social consequences of (un)successfully sharing guilty pleasures with close others. If you’re attending MPA, I hope to see you there!

📖New research reveals guilty pleasures trigger mixed emotions: joy and guilt simultaneously. People are more likely to share these indulgences with close friends than with acquaintances or strangers. Read more in #PSPB: ow.ly/eqsq50VqphO

Virtually everyone has a guilty pleasure (GP), but not all GPs are experienced the same. This Saturday at #SPSP2025 I’ll be presenting research detailing how different GPs like food and audiovisual media (TV/YouTube) elicit different affective responses and self-presentation concerns. Come stop by!
