In 2011-2012, I assisted Dr. Strozier, Chair of the School of Social Work with numerous research projects, mainly regarding kinship caregiving.  These tasks included coding, entering and analyzing data.  I also participated in literature reviews and, under her direction, created a newsletter on kinship policy called the Kinship Policy Alert.

From 2009-2011, in my role as a Research Assistant in the Mood and Emotion lab (MEL), I entered data, assisted with experiments, and provided support as needed to the graduate students. My interests include Clinical Social Work, Mood, Anxiety, Writing, Mental Health, Creativity and Performance.
