About

I am currently an assistant professor in the School Psychology program at Worcester State. Prior to joining the faculty at WSU, I worked for 10 years as a school psychologist and special education coordinator in a public school setting. My research interests include examining school discipline laws, regulations, and policy and multi-tiered systems of support.
