About

I am a psychologist with professional knowledge of the behavioral, social, and health sciences. Over the past twenty years, I have worked collaboratively with federal agencies, nonprofits, grantees, contractors, and community stakeholders to identify modifiable risk and protective factors for violence, and to develop and evaluate interventions that integrate behavioral strategies to prevent violence and associated injury, illness, and disease. I have significant expertise in research design, implementation, and statistical analysis including evaluation of programs for both efficacy and effectiveness. Additional unique skills include the integration of neurological, psychiatric, and behavioral data and theory into public health programs; development and administration of psychometric assessments for the purposes of evaluation at multiple levels of the social ecology; and oral and written communication of research findings via presentations at national scientific conferences and publication of research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In addition, I have significant experience as a consultant to government and private sector businesses. My training in clinical therapy, experience as a collegiate lecturer, and experience as expert witness have honed my communication skills, making me adept at interacting and communicating scientific and behavioral expertise to a variety of individuals and groups with varying levels of professional knowledge.
