I have a professional and educational background working with children identified with emotional/behavior disorders in settings ranging from residential treatment to inclusion. I completed my PhD in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in exceptional student education and qualitative research. I currently direct the Program-Wide Positive Behavior Support Project at USF. This project supports early childhood education programs to implement the Pyramid Model program-wide with fidelity. I also works with the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations to develop products and provide technical assistance for the promotion of social-emotional competence and inclusive practices for young children and families. I have experience providing training and technical assistance to implement evidence-based practices within a multi-tiered framework in a variety of settings including state-level agencies, school systems, childcare programs, and classrooms.
