Research Interests

My research is in the area of bullying in childhood and adolescence (including relational aggression and bullying of LGBTQ+ youth). More recently, my research interests have also included applied research in the schools (e.g., examining the local prevalence of bullying and the need for anti-bullying programs in our area; implementing scientifically sound anti-bullying programs) and, more broadly, reducing barriers to adopting and implementing with fidelity evidence-based interventions in the school setting.
