My work includes the investigations of child-, parent-, and system-level characteristics, and the relationship between these factors, that either support healthy emotional development or exacerbates difficulties in the child and for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\">I am also interested in the impact of these factors on overall parent and family wellbeing. Additionally, I have an interest in implementation science and program evaluations, and working alongside community-based autism providers and advocacy groups, I am investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as participation in psychosocial interventions on the mental health and wellbeing of autistic youth and their caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>POTENTIAL UNDERGRADUATE THESIS OR GRADUATE STUDENTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the number of email inquiries I receive regarding undergraduate thesis and graduate student positions, I do not generally meet with potential candidates prior to an application submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\"><strong>Undergraduate Thesis Students:<\/strong> I may take 1-2 Undergraduate Thesis Students in Fall 2026.
