About the author:
My research interests are the impacts of early intervention – particularly publicly funded early care and education programs – and early adversity – particularly food insecurity – on low-income children’s readiness for kindergarten and elementary school.
What I want to achieve:
I seek to generate high-quality empirical research on vulnerable children’s early environments and development that will contribute to discussions around the most effective public social policies to promote early learning and life success.
