About the Lab and My Mentorship Style:

Thanks for your interest in the lab's work! To share a bit about my mentorship style, I value a collaborative, supportive approach that endeavors to build students' skills and carve out a clear path for them moving forward. I try to have clear guidance and expectations while being available to answer questions and problem-solve when barriers arise. I strive to encourage my mentees to find balance between personal and professional responsibilities and goals. I appreciate that the lab is fantastic at encouraging one another and being there to support each other. 

 

In my lab, there are many opportunities for leadership and supporting others' work. We all work together, exploring projects that pertain to grant-funded studies as well as our own personal interests. Together, we have been able to publish and present a fair amount each year, although we focus on quality over quantity. Feel free to reach out if you have interest in learning more.

 

Bio:

I conduct research that broadly targets (a) offering efficient, effective training and support strategies to provide evidence-based behavioral interventions in high need, under-resourced settings, and (b) the impact of these supports and interventions on students' learning outcomes and social/behavioral wellness, particularly for minoritized youth. She is continuing a line of research related to developing and testing an assessment tool for culturally and contextually relevant school-based behavioral supports.
