BiographyI completed my undergraduate degree at Manchester University (1994) and my graduate studies at the University of Kansas (M.A., 1996; Ph.D., 1998). I teach courses in interpersonal communication, family communication, and nonverbal communication, and am a recipient of the NMSU College of Arts and Sciences award for outstanding achievement in teaching. My research focuses on how people develop and maintain their romantic and family relationships and is featured in journals such as Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Journal of Family Psychology, Journal of Family Communication, and Human Communication Research.

I am also co-author (with Chris Segrin) of Family Communication. Family Communication is a comprehensive review of research that explores basic family communication forms and processes, as well as communication in family subsystems such as sibling, parent-child, extended family, romantic and marital relationships. The book examines how families communicate during stress and explores how communication functions to mitigate or exacerbate various relationship and family stressors. Family Communication also examines fascinating links between the quality of family relationships and mental and physical health. |
