Jocelyn is a first-year PhD student in the Cognition, Neuroscience, and Social Psychology program at the University of South Florida, where she also completed her B.S. in Psychology. She went on to earn her M.S. in Applied Psychology from the University of New Orleans before returning to USF to pursue her doctorate. Her research focuses on the factors that support relationship functioning, including conflict resolution, attachment, and sexual behavior. She has a particular interest in how hormonal birth control influences relationship dynamics and partner perception. She is also interested in exploring the effects that substance use has on romantic relationships. Outside of the lab, Jocelyn is usually outdoors, hiking, snowboarding, or surfing.
