She investigates how systemic consultation models improve school outcomes, develops culturally responsive assessment tools, and analyzes socioeconomic barriers to learning. Her research consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with classroom applicability, particularly in underserved educational contexts.
Analysis of her 2018-2014 publications reveals dominant themes in engineering education pedagogy (including gender-responsive simulation methods), reading/math intervention efficacy, and ADHD assessment tools. These works frequently employ case study methodologies while addressing diversity considerations across K-12 settings, reflecting her core research interests in equity and assessment.
Her scholarly recognition includes:
- Martin Award for Best Paper in ASEE Chemical Engineering division (2018)
