Conduct research related to veterans transition from the military to civilian life.

In my research, I address questions related to the experiences of military service members and veterans. My dissertation research explores the social and cultural factors that affect small-unit dynamics among deployed service members. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, I have collaborated on research projects related to: historical changes in the political attitudes of military veterans, service members’ transition to civilian employment, veterans’ mortality risk, veterans’ transition to higher education, veterans’ perceptions of support services in higher education, and cyber security policy. My research on service members and veterans aims to shed light on the potential effects of military service, with the goal of informing policies that improve outcomes for service members, veterans, and their families.
