My research interests include under-represented populations like incarcerated individuals and severe mental illness I am interested in researching how implementation of faith/spiritual practices affect rates of recidivism In addition, I am interested in social media and how it affects compliance behaviors Specifically, how social media/ media coverage can be utilized to increase community compliance in preventative health care measures such as mental health services or routine medical check-ups Another interest of mine is the correlation between media coverage and perpetuation of crime
