Research Projects/Interests ::

My research interests include exploring the influence of context on human development, most specifically the ways in which neighborhoods effect children and families. My aim is to apply the results of my research to direct social work practice with children, families, and the communities where they reside.

I am currently working on data analysis related to children's agency in creating neighborhood change.
