I am the Research Associate at the National School Climate Center. I received my Bachelor's from Rutgers University, and my Master's degree from Brooklyn College, where I studied Mental Health Counseling and Experimental Psychology. I love working with children and have taught students of varying backgrounds, from preschool age through high school. I use my psychology training to approach teaching from a holistic standpoint, considering the impact that mental health, social conditions, and student-teacher relationships have on student academic performance. I believe in the importance of using data to make informed decisions, and am most interested in research relating social well-being to academic success.
