Personal profile
Research Interests
My research interests are in instructional and applied communication, where I study (1) how teachers enforce their classroom rules, policies and procedures, (2) how to develop communication and technical skills for both learners and teachers, and (3) research methods relevant to classroom, educational, and assessment data. The majority of my research uses surveys or experiments to answer research questions related to these interests. I have training in qualitative methods and use these techniques where appropriate, but quantitative research has always felt like home. I also love performing reviews and feel like this is one of my strengths as a scholar - please reach out if you need someone in a pinch!
