Current Work
My research is organized in four interconnected areas: (1) deconstructing the traditional path from K-12 into postsecondary education by critically examining and challenging access to, recruitment and retention of, and impact of college and college students; (2) the role of mental health on college access, entry, retention, and graduation; (3) advancing the connection between K12, higher education, and the counseling community to provide support, allyship, advocacy, and services to keys stakeholders; and (4) experiences of women and women-identifying folks in higher education. My current projects focus on (a) recruitment, retention, persistence, graduation, and employment of women and People of Color in career and technical STEM fields; (b) mental health characteristics and the transition between high school to college and (b) the potential impacts that COVID-19 caused on post-Ph.D employment of women.
