Research

I like to be involved with variety of projects that are at various points in the research process (conception, background research, research development, data collection, data analysis, writing, presenting, and publishing).  I welcome collaborative projects and find the intellectual challenge of embracing and meshing the differences of unique researchers to be extremely rewarding. I am currently involved in the following research projects:
