I'm an Associate Professor of School Psychology in the School of Education at the University of California, Riverside, where I also serve as Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education. During the 2022-23 academic year, I was an American Council on Education fellow with President Krista Newkirk at the University of Redlands. I received my PhD in Educational Psychology, with a concentration in School Psychology, from the University of Connecticut in 2014. I joined UCR in 2015 after serving as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with an Institute for Education Sciences grant project focused on social, emotional, and behavioral screening practices. My research interests focus on behavior support for equitable student outcomes, with recent publications examining issues in research ethics relative to gender identity as well as methodological issues in single-case design. I co-authored the practitioner-focused book School-Based Behavioral Assessment: Informing Prevention and Intervention.

I was an Associate Editor with the Journal of School Psychology from 2018 to 2023, and am a licensed psychologist in the state of California (CA29540). Outside of work, I hang out with my kids, drink coffee, and am a very mediocre climber.
