Bio

I am Assistant Professor of Community and Regional Planning in the School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability at Missouri State University. My work focuses on transportation behavior, specifically how people perceive and interact with their travel options and how their attitudes and perceptions relate to their travel patterns. My core research interests revolve around attitude formation and change across groups of people, and how these processes relate to support for and/or opposition to transportation policies and interventions. Additionally, my recent work addresses a) urban freight and the changing landscape of transportation and the curb amid the expansion of e-commerce, and b) transportation equity implications of state policy changes in non-emergency medical transportation.
