Professor Nappi's research examines trauma through multiple lenses—intergenerational transmission, neurobiological impacts, somatic processing techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions. This expertise informs her conference presentations at venues like the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors and National Association of Social Workers New Jersey Chapter, where she addresses trauma-informed teaching strategies, private practice development, and anti-racism implementation in predominantly white institutions.

She received Monmouth University's 2017 Outstanding Adjunct Award and supports professional development through the School of Social Work’s Professional Education Program, teaching specialized courses in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Concurrently, she maintains a part-time private practice providing trauma-focused clinical services and LCSW supervision for candidates.
