How I Became Interested in Psychology
Curiosity about why people do the things they do
Areas of Interest
Violence prevention, child abuse and neglect
Current Research
My violence prevention research group consists of both graduate and undergraduate students and has involved them in both publications and presentations at professional conferences. Ongoing projects include the impact of adverse childhood experiences on health, the impact of adverse victimization and perpetration on later victimization and perpetration, the impact of writing news articles documenting the impact of adverse childhood experiences on public opinion, and cultural healing strategies as empowerment activities after trauma.
