I am a developmental psychologist, and Assistant Professor at Tufts University in the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development.
I research children's and adolescents' experiences caregiving for family members - and how these experiences shape their wellbeing and school success.
To do this work, I partner with schools and educational agencies. Our work is directly informing the design of school- and government-based policies that support children’s wellbeing and education.
I earned my Ph.D from Stanford University, where I was a fellow in the Stanford Data Science Initiative and Center for Education Policy Analysis. My postdoctoral training was at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, funded by the National Science Foundation.
