BIO

In the past, my research adopted a multilevel approach to understanding peer victimization and aggression, including consideration of family context (e.g., parental psychopathology), peer relationships (e.g., low social status), individual behavior, and biobehavioral processes (e.g., psychophysiology). In addition, I conducted research related to effective parenting strategies for caregivers of strong-willed youth. Now, I am primarily focused on program evaluation of child welfare and mental health agencies in addition to developing easy-to-access parenting resources.

Please note that I do not have an active research lab and, therefore, cannot work with students on their theses or research.
