Brief biography:
My research seeks to develop more effective treatments for alcohol use disorder and for tobacco use disorder and to provide the science base for the regulation of tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches. Our methods include clinical trials, human laboratory paradigms, focus groups and survey research. I am deeply engaged in mentoring scientists in research on addictive behaviors.
I grew up in New Orleans and so have an affinity for great food, unique neighborhoods and interesting people. My husband and I have two children and have a new grandson whom I adore.
