About the author:

My research interests focus broadly on cumulative factors impacting mother-infant relationships including poverty, substance use disorder, maternal mental health and well-being, infant digital media use, infant sleep, and most recently, the COVID-19 global pandemic.

What I want to achieve:

I want to make science accessible to everyone, particularly parents. As a parent, I know we are inundated with advice; some of it evidence-based and some of it anecdotal (and just plain bad!). My goal is to empower parents to make the best decisions for their family based on the most recent scientific research available.
