Research
In an ever-evolving educational landscape, it is vital to delve into the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that shape our classrooms and learning communities. The following research strands represent my dedicated exploration of critical areas of education. By understanding these facets and enhancing research-practice-policy partnerships, I hope to foster resilience and mitigate risk for school members, provide robust support systems, and guide effective practice and policy implementation for a better tomorrow in education.
Risk and Resilience in School Communities
I study how individual, relational, and contextual factors shape the well-being and resilience of school communities. Drawing on ecological systems theory, I use mixed methods to understand the conditions that influence educator well-being, burnout, and school functioning.
I investigate how social, professional, and organizational support systems promote educator well-being and strengthen school communities. My research examines how supportive relationships and school structures can support educator well-being, resilience, and long-term retention.
System of Support for Educators
School-Wide SEL Implementation
I study the role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in promoting healthy and supportive school communities. My research examines how school-wide SEL practices influence educator well-being and school climate, as well as the conditions that support successful implementation across diverse educational settings.
Past Research Experiences Across Various Disciplines
My past research experiences across multiple disciplines have prepared me to be an interdisciplinary researcher able to conduct research proactively and independently.
