Overview
As a psychological scientist with a background in human development, I take a scientifically rigorous approach to understanding the factors that contribute to emotional and academic adjustment during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, with a particular focus on the college years. I currently serve as a Research Scientist in the Office of Institutional Research (OIR) at Duke, with a focus on undergraduate education. I provide leadership for research, assessment, and evaluation efforts in furtherance of our mission to facilitate transformational educational experiences for all undergraduates. Prior to joining OIR, I was Director of Research in the Office of Undergraduate Education, Research Scientist in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, and project director for the four-campus Student Resilience and Well-Being Project funded by The Duke Endowment.
