BIO
My research seeks to inform best practices for homelessness services and systems through collaborative research studies with community organizations in Chicago and nationwide. I work to understand challenges and facilitators in service delivery inclusively by gaining perspectives of individuals with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, and administrators. In addition to research, I provide training, program evaluation, and consultation services for organizations. I am Co-Coordinator of the Psychology Human Services Concentration and teach the accompanying Fieldwork/Internship (PSY-395) course. At the graduate level, I teach Adult Assessment (PSY-482), Seminar in Prevention and Intervention (PSY-568), and Practicum in Special Areas in Psychology (PSY-574). I enjoy student-facing activities, such as serving on the CSH Pre-Health Advising Committee and the Psychology Undergraduate Career Readiness Committee. I am also on the Faculty Advisory Board of the Cannabis Studies Program and a member of DePaul’s Business Council on Homelessness.
