Biography

I am an associate professor in the Family Science major. I teach courses in marriage and relationship skills, human sexuality, and couples therapy in the MFT program.
My current research focuses on the sexual debut and the transition to sexual intimacy among couples who decided to remain abstinent prior to marrying.
