About me.

I am a school psychology researcher and postdoctoral fellow with the School Mental Health Collaborative within the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, funded by the National Center for Education Research (NCER) and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), U.S. Department of Education through a training grant. My research examines the intersection of education and other social institutions—including the criminal legal, housing, and child welfare systems—with a particular focus on understanding the systemic and individual impacts of parental incarceration on students and families. I have engaged in this research to date using a variety of methodological approaches including quantitative and qualitative secondary data analysis; survey; and in-depth interviews.
