About
Research Interests
My research interests broadly focus on improving functional outcomes for adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As such, my research involves: (1) identifying meaningful and malleable factors associated with academic and social functioning among youth with ADHD and (2) developing, implementing, and evaluating school-based interventions that target these factors to enhance outcomes. In my research, I specifically focus on school mental health and school-based intervention to increase access to effective services for youth and their families. Additionally, my research involves partnering with schools and communities to understand needs and the intervention context to ensure interventions are acceptable, feasible, and sustainable in real-world practice.
