Expertise

My research interests include psychological and contextual influences on the schooling experiences of historically marginalized and underrepresented students, particularly rural, Black, and LGBTQ+ students. More specifically, I am interested in how family and school contexts, and processes within these contexts, shape student motivation, performance, and persistence across high school and college.
