I am a first-year PhD student from the small town of Athens, OH. I graduated from Ohio University with my B.A in Sociology (2020), B.S in Psychology (2021) and M.A in Sociology (2022) where I studied the effects of COVID-19 on the self-perceived mental health of first-year college students. My research interests lie in social media, mental health, socialization, qualitative methods, and social psychology.
