Assistant Professor
Utah State University
Logan, Utah, United States
My program of research is interdisciplinary with an overarching focus on individuals’ health and well-being across adulthood and old age. To achieve this general goal, my expertise includes research methodology and statistics, daily and chronic stress, salivary biomarkers of stress and health, and interventions and health behaviors to reduce the impact of stressor exposures and promote healthy aging. My research on daily stress, health and well-being has focused on special populations who are generally considered as having experienced chronic stress and trauma, such as family caregivers of individuals with dementia (IWDs) and people who are survivors of early abuse. Specifically, utilizing various forms of multilevel models and working with intensive and traditional longitudinal data, I have assessed the micro (daily) and macro (developmental) processes of fluctuation and change, and examined daily experiences (stressors and positive events) and factors (e.g., caregiving situation, trauma history, and sleep) contributing to varying levels of well-being in these outcomes.
