BIO
My research focuses on identifying factors that have the potential to promote young children’s school readiness and mental health. My current work explores the impact of our Kiddie CATs on the Move physical activity intervention on preschoolers’ development. We currently implement Kiddie CATs on the Move as part of the Fit Kids service-learning courses in the Department of Psychological Science, with a particular emphasis on collaborating with community partners that support under-resourced and historically marginalized communities. Within these courses, our students spend six hours per week volunteering and implementing Kiddie CATs on the Move in local preschool classrooms.
