I am an associate professor in the department of psychology at Christopher Newport University. I am also a faculty member for the university's Masters in teaching program and Center for Education Research and Policy. Previously, I worked as an elementary school teacher and my background in elementary education is a driving force behind my research. My research interests include teacher well-being, development, motivation, and effectiveness.
See the publication tab for more extensive list of recent publications and projects! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about my research or would like to discuss further.
Honored to make the top 2% of researchers for a third straight year. It wouldn't be possible without my co-authors and the teachers who take the time to participate in our surveys and focus groups.
