Biography:
I am a Ph.D. student in the Telecommunications department at Indiana University. My primary research interests are video games and interactivity. Specifically, I'm interested in violence, realism, morality, body image, and social context. I am currently studying how video game realism influences social comparison and how games may alter people's moral foundations.
I have industry experience in both advertising and digital design. The former comes from my work in selling and designing ads for newspapers. My work designing and maintaining websites constitutes the latter.
