Overview
My research interests are primarily in program development, implementation, and evaluation, particularly as it relates to child and adolescent health. I joined the Center for American Indian Health in 2007 focusing on intervention development and have worked on a number of programs covering topics such as child development and parenting, nutrition, substance abuse, and youth suicide prevention. As the Curriculum Director for the Center, I am in charge of the development and adaptation of many behavioral health programs.
