Research Experience


Primary Researcher, Gettysburg College, 2020 - Present
My current research explores the intersection of internet technologies and interpersonal interactions within social networks among young adults. Specifically, I am examining the impact that the abrupt transition to remote learning, primarily digital communication, and forced computer-mediated relationships that manifested during COVID-19 had on research participants perceptions of online privacy, identity, community, and its lasting implications.

Primary Researcher, Gettysburg College, 2018 - 2020
My digital media scholarship explored the implications of the integration and normalization of online communication technologies in the lives of Millennials and Gen Z. Specifically, I sought to understand the impact of strategic surveillance by corporate media platforms to collect, distribute, manage and utilize individual level data on participants’ perceptions of privacy, individual identity representation, and group affiliation.

Primary Researcher, Concord University, 2014 - 2017
Research focused on how online technologies are used to negotiate, establish and maintain interpersonal relationships. The data indicates a normalization of technological communication in social interactions leading to expectations of hyper-connection.

Primary Researcher, Concord University, 2012 - 2014
My mixed methods research examined the role communication technologies play in interpersonal and family relationships in a comparison study between college students from a historically marginalized rural population and those from a privileged urban background.

Dissertation Research, Dr. Jackie Orr (Chair), Syracuse University, 2008 - 2012
I examined the role of techno-mediated communication in the lives of college age students at large, private research university. The research focused on the ways in which social media, texting and other technologies are embedded in their daily practices and interconnecting lives.

Research Assistant, Dr. Margaret Usdansky, Syracuse University, 2010
Working with Dr. Usdansky, I conducted an extensive literature review for a mixed methods project that examined the educational and career outcomes of under-represented minorities in STEM fields. The project was awarded an American Educational Research Association grant.

Research Assistant, Dr. Marjorie DeVault, Syracuse University, 2008
Collaborating with Dr. DeVault, I supervised undergraduate students in an ongoing team ethnographic project and compiled their qualitative data. The work focuses on the complex relationship between the private university population and the local community in Syracuse, NY.

Research Assistant, Dr. Madonna Harrington Meyer, Syracuse University, 2007
Under the supervision of Dr. Harrington Meyer, I conducted the initial analysis and produced descriptive statistics from survey data that summarized the long-term career outcomes of Gerontology Program alumni in the Center for Policy Research at Syracuse University.

Research Assistant, Dr. Madonna Harrington Meyer, Syracuse University, 2007
Working with Dr. Harrington Meyer and other graduate students, we identified factors linked to the high rates of attrition at a local high school. I collected and analyzed survey data from freshman students about their transition from middle school to high school. The final data analysis was presented to the high school administration officials.

Women’s Studies Master’s Thesis, Dr. Michelle Gibson, University of Cincinnati, 2005
I conducted observation and discourse analysis of university online discussion board postings and classroom linguistic patterns. Under the supervision of Dr. Gibson, I examined how student perceptions about socio-economic status changed during guided classroom exercises.
