Expertise

Academic Area:

  • Educational Psychology.

I am interested in how early childhood experiences shape children and adolescents’ cognition and behavior.

I am also interested in promoting positive development of at-risk adolescents by expanding a researcher-practitioner partnership that aims to promote social connectedness, academic and communal engagement, and build self-awareness skills of at-risk adolescents in alternative school setting.
