Research Interests
I am an undergraduate research assistant in the IMPACT Lab in the department of Human Development at Washington State University. My studies cover a variety of social and psychological contexts of human beings and their developmental socialization. I am specializing in at-risk youth and delinquency prevention, with a concentration in adolescence. My areas of interest include prevention and intervention programming for school and community implementation targeting adolescent populations, as well as policy reformation and analysis of existing programs and those in juvenile corrections and facilities to improve the efficacy and cost effectiveness of corrections for rehabilitating youth.
