My research interests are broadly in the areas of media psychology and moral psychology. Specifically, I am interested in how people form attitudes towards entertainment media figures. Currently, much of my research explores what makes characters likeable beyond moral considerations. I would also like to explore the role of viewer identity in character perceptions, especially in the context of the queer community. In my free time, I enjoy horror movies, pirates, and psychedelic rock.
