My primary interests are in juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice, with research experience in longitudinal survey data.

I have been instructor of record for both introductory and upper-level graduate courses, and hope to expand on my teaching experience with more classes and mentoring opportunities.

My primary project has been working with Drs. Megan Kurlycheck and Megan Bears Augustyn on data collection for the Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS). This includes modifying the survey instrument and conducting interviews.
