Faculty Profile
I teach courses related to behavioral sciences, ethics and professionalism to dental students and a graduate course in statistics. I also serve as Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
Research Profile
As part of the CARES research team, I am involved in studies related to the impact of psychosocial issues on dental care. Specifically, we are examining the impact of access/barriers to care on treatment-seeking among dental school patients and older adults in the Western New York area. We are also studying student attitudes and empathy toward treating older adult patients.
