I am an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders in the Department of Psychiatry. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of eating disorders and behavioral genetics. I have four primary programs of research: (1) identifying genetic vulnerability to eating disorders and their symptoms; (2) explicating the comorbidity of eating disorders and substance use disorders from a genetic epidemiology perspective; (3) investigating eating disorder and comorbid psychopathology in underrepresented populations; and (4) exploring health and well-being in college students.
