Her academic work bridges K-12 and higher education, focusing on equity in postsecondary access and success.
Her research centers on identifying causal impacts of educational interventions through experimental and quasi-experimental designs. She conducts partner-engaged research with school districts and policy agencies, particularly in Detroit, to evaluate programs like the Detroit Promise Path coaching initiative and virtual mentoring systems.
