Alice is a fourth year doctoral student in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication. Prior to arriving at ASU, Alice graduated Summa Cum Laude from San Diego State University, earning her B.A. in Communication and Human Biology and an M.A. in Communication studies. Her primary research foci center on the various aspects of romantic relationships. Current research projects include an analysis of unrequited love, the function of conflict in marriage, the effects of breakups on stress hormones in the body, and the role of romantic attraction in a classroom setting. She is particularly interested in the intersection of communication and physiology, and how social behavior affects human health.
