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 Director of Research for the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE) at Duke, providing leadership for research, assessment, and evaluation efforts in furtherance of our mission to facilitate transformational educational experiences for all undergraduates. Prior to joining OUE, I was a Research Scientist in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke, and project director for the four-campus Student Resilience and Well-Being Project funded by The Duke Endowment.
