I am currently a sociology graduate student at
the University of Florida. I earned B.A. degrees in sociology and
criminal justice in 2006 at Bloomsburg University. At this time, I am
working on a number of different research projects: I am studying the
psycho-social effects of spiritual transformations for
adults in the United States; I am analyzing the impact that religious
beliefs have on social trust in the United States; And in the Summer of
2008, I
will begin working with Dr. Monika Ardelt on a project concerning
cross-cultural assessments of wisdom. I am also teaching
discussion
sections of Principles of Sociology this Summer.
