Research Discipline/Bio
I am a third year Ed.D student in Health Promotion and Education in the Department of Health Studies and Applied Educational Psychology. With over 15 years of dental hygiene experience, my research focus uses a qualitative approach exploring the challenges and strategies among parents of children with ASD in providing dental health care. I am also a graduate research assistant in a federally funded nationwide study by the CDC investigating exposure to school violence as an adverse childhood experience and its impact on mental health under Principal Investigators Dr. Sonali Rajan and Dr. Charles Branas. I am also a co-founder and co-president of the Doctoral Student Association at Teachers College, Columbia University.
