I support families and teachers using a curriculum that offers evidence-based strategies designed to establish consistent and predictable home and school environments for preschoolers. The parenting and classroom curriculums mirror one another and focus on age-appropriate communication, effective discipline, and an overall reduction in family stress.

My main duty in the lab is to acquire eeg data and process the data that is acquired. I began working in the lab in July 2008.I have worked in various educational settings (e.g., elementary, high school and university) and can relate well to all age groups. My broad interests are studying the developmental changes of both language and attention. I study these changes through the use of convential ERP’s and by looking at how oscillatory frequency bands vary by age, gender, SES and other factors. The research that is being conducted in the BDL lab is very progressive in regards to bettering the community around us and abroad. I also enjoy being active (e.g., biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, snowboarding, gardening, carpentry, etc.) and spending time with my spouse, son and two dogs.
