ABOUT ME
I am equally passionate about teaching and research.
I teach research methods, statistics, assessment, evaluation, and social & emotional aspects of learning.
I conduct research with the goal of generating findings of practical utility to my collaborators and theoretical relevance to the fields of Education and Health.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Social & Emotional Aspects of Instruction

Evidence-Based Practice in Professional Education
Understanding and comparing approaches to teaching evidence-based practice in professional education.
Assessment and Evaluation
What can we know about what students know? How can formative processes be applied to support student-learning and program- or curriculum-development?
Applied Decision Making Processes
How do people engage in every-day decision making? What facilitates decision making, and decreases decisional conflict?
