My interest in romantic relationships started to take shape when I was a psychology student at Miami University in Ohio. I wrote a senior thesis about how young women used romantic narratives in media to guide their beliefs about relationships. This led me to graduate school at the University of Missouri where I studied divorce, remarriage, and stepfamilies. At Mizzou I learned the power of interviews to tell the stories of romantic love and loss that mean so much to our lives. During that time, I also fell in love and started a family. We moved to New England for me to take my dream job at the University of New Hampshire where I have continued to study relationships with colleagues spread all over the US.
