Research Interests

I study home and school factors that support adaptive development for youth with externalizing behavior challenges. I am particularly interested in studying family-school and teacher-student relationship in children starting in kindergarten, as well as how these relationships change as children progress through school. I also study parenting attitudes and behaviors that support the development of academic enabling classroom behaviors (e.g., engagement, prosocial skills) in children. I take an ecological approach in examining these relationships and I am interested in how caregiver and child behaviors reciprocally influence each other over time.

Recently, I have also developed a line of research examining children's mental health and behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. I had several studies underway when the pandemic was declared. This presented an opportunity to examine how child symptoms and aspects of the child's environment, such as parenting practices, may have changed during this period. It also provided an opportunity to share insights with schools that were navigating this disruption in real-time.
