Research Interests: 

The overarching goal of my program of research is to contribute to the understanding of how gonadal steroid hormones affect perception, emotion, cognition, sexuality, and other behaviours across the lifespan. Additional research interests fall in the fields of psychopharmacology, clinical neuropsychology, evolutionary psychology (e.g., mate selection), women's health, and preconception health.
