I enjoy mentoring AU
students, and especially savor the moments when students complete a course or their
research projects and actually acknowledge that they enjoyed the learning
experience. My research focuses on psychological and health issues and I have
an ongoing longitudinal study examining
the effects of a comprehensive, whole-person health intervention for
individuals who are dealing with multiple, chronic conditions.
