I have completed a Ph.D. in media psychology at the University of Alabama. My dissertation examined the role of affective states such as loneliness and compassion in selecting and enjoying media such as tragic films. Previously, I received the M.S. in mass communication at Colorado State University. My thesis explored the role of the sense of presence in adopting healthy behaviors. I received a B.A. in East Asian History from Seoul National University.
