Teaching Interests

My teaching interests focus on preparing educators to effectively support diverse learners, particularly students with disabilities. I am committed to helping future teachers develop strong assessment skills, culturally responsive practices, and evidence-based behavior supports. I also aim to create learning environments that encourage collaboration, reflection, and continuous professional growth.

Research Interests

My research interests center on how special education practices can more effectively support diverse learners through high-quality, equitable educational evaluations. I am particularly interested in understanding how evaluation processes influence student placement, access to services, and long-term academic outcomes. Additionally, I aim to explore patterns in student behavior and how data-informed interventions can improve both classroom functioning and overall student well-being.
