Substantively, I am most interested in understanding the mechanisms that impede organizational change and improvement. A related interest is understanding how an individual's social structure influences their decision-making and actions. Methodologically, I am interested developing ways of integrating dynamic modeling with more traditional quantitative and qualitative methods. My dissertation work utilizes agent-based modeling and social network analysis to study educational policy, particularly the implementation of school-level reform.
Prior to academia, I was a co-founder of PracticeFields, a consulting and education company that creates and delivers board game simulations of business dynamics (http://www.practicefields.com/). |

| My research examines the dynamics of couple and family relationships and their influence on the cognitive, social, emotional, and physiological development of infants, children and adolescents. I am particularly interested in the effects of interparental conflict on child stress system functioning (i.e., cortisol levels) and its role in mediating effects of conflict on child functioning and development. I am also interested in policies, programs and interventions aimed at improving couple relationship functioning and their implications for child and family wellbeing. |

| My interests lie at the intersection between human development and environmental education. My dissertation work focuses on the role of identity and personality in the development of long-term commitment to issues of ecological sustainability. I hope to better understand the factors that lead people to engage with various communities and types of environmental/social action, and to consider the implications for the design of learning environments (formal and informal) to promote sustainable action over time. |
