Research Interests
I am interested in studying the interplay between motivational level, self-control, and reward sensitivity as well as how individual differences affect these constructs.  Subareas of self-control that I study include impulsivity and aggressive behavior.  Recently, I have extended my research line to include implicit bias, which can be thought of as a failure in self-regulation.  I often use transcranial direct current brain stimulation in my research.  
 
I enjoy teaching, and have been a primary instructor for research methods at UK, a cultural psychology psychology capstone at Eastern Kentucky Univeristy, introductory psychology at Transylvania University, social neuroscience at Transylvania University, learning and cognition at UK, and social psychology at UK.
