About the author:

I am interested in early childhood education, teacher well-being, physiological measures of stress, and childhood development.

What I want to achieve:

I implement mixed-method research to examine the circumstances of early childhood that both bolster and challenge caregiver well-being and child development. In doing so, I hope to elevate the voices and experiences of caregivers.
