Associate Professor of Sociology
University of Oklahoma
I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma. My professional activities fall into two broad areas of interest: (1) developing new and innovative approaches to improve statistical communication within sociology, the social sciences, and beyond and (2) using longitudinal statistics, trend analyses, and structural equation modeling to map out how religious beliefs, practices, and membership in the US have changed over time. To expand and develop research in these areas, I have actively sought out collaborations with peers, colleagues, and students to implement innovative approaches to statistical modeling and survey data collection and analyses. I regularly teach courses on applied statistics at the graduate and undergraduate level.
