Innovation
Currently, I am studying how STEM stereotypes impact children's STEM achievement and interest though shaping their cognitive beliefs. Additionally, I study how gendered classroom norms are associated with children's school adjustment and achievement and how parents' division of household labor impacts children's outcomes.
For my assistantship I work with OneOp, which is a multi-university grant project focused on creating professional development opportunities for military service providers. Specifically, my work generally focuses on evaluation.
