Research and Teaching Interests:
Currently I am collecting data with Dr. Wilcox on creativity in children as it relates to extra-curricular activities. We are also working on a paper that examined developmentally appropriate and inappropriate preschool teaching practices.
My background in School Psychology focused on assessment of young children especially functional analysis of disruptive behaviors, depression in early adolescence, peer rejection and social skills in middle childhood.
