2022 - 2023 Graduates of the Joint PhD Program in Social Work and Social Science

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to share information about our 2022-2023 graduates of the Joint PhD Program in Social Work and Social Science at the Universi ty of Michigan. We are excited to introduce you to our graduates. We believe they will be the change agents ushering in the next wave of innovation in social work research, practice, and policy.

As you know, the Joint PhD Program in Social Work and Social Science prepares our doctor al students for teaching and research careers through the advancement of knowledge about so cial problems, social change, social interventions, and social welfare. Our curriculum integrates comprehensive graduate training in a specific social science discipline with advanced studies and research in various areas of social work. Therefore, we have a broad range of research areas and disciplinary specializations in which our students choose to receive expert training and experience.

This year, we have a promising group of joint program graduates who are eager to reach out, raise hope, and change society. Their training and commitment to social work and social welfare will be of particular interest to your institution.

As you review their curriculum vitae you will find that our graduates have published in both social work and social science journals, have presented at our national conferences such as the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR), and have even secured funding or show promise for doing so in the near future.

Please contact the Joint PhD Program Coordinator, Todd Huynh at (734) 763-5768 or via email (ssw.phd.info@umich.edu), if you would like more information about any of the doctoral candidates listed here or if we can help facilitate a meeting with them.

My research is guided by the central question: How can social service providers effectively implement and shape policy to benefit marginalized groups within dynamic service contexts? My six years of diverse social work practice experiences as a case manager, program evaluator, and community organizer guides my research interests. In these roles, I observed how policy and related environmental conditions including resources and institutional contexts fostered opportunities and challenges to service implementation among service providers. I also observed that the relationship is bidirectional, in that policy is shaped and adapted on the ground by service providers negotiating dynamic organizational and service environments. As such, my work concerns how policy shapes and is shaped by the behaviors and relationships of social service providers working within and between organizations. This bidirectional interplay, influencing street level policy implementation, service outcomes, and social change, is critically understudied. My research aims to close this gap, bridging theory and practice to explore factors influencing more socially just approaches to policy design, service implementation, and social change among service providers on the ground.

I organize my research around three interrelated areas of inquiry, which reveals connections between policy environments and street level policy implementation: 1) uncovering the facets of policy, environmental conditions, and organizational contexts that influence the behaviors and relationships of social service providers; 2) how relationships between service providers, including shared norms and values, affects service implementation and social change efforts; and 3) how policy, environmental conditions, and organizational contexts are shaped by service provider behaviors and relationships throughout policy implementation processes My inquiry into these areas is informed by my sociological training and guided by interdisciplinary organizational theories, including institutional theory and street level bureaucracy theory; I apply a critical lens to these theoretical domains within social service contexts. I primarily explore my overarching research question through mixed methods research in which I examine social service providers and related actors working at the intersection of social welfare and carceral systems At this intersection, service providers intervene in low income communities where poverty is exacerbated by racialized criminalization. As my dissertation demonstrates, this intersection is a particularly fruitful domain of investigation as social service providers and organizations working across these systems are essential for achieving service outcomes and social change, and policy and environmental conditions are currently in dynamic flux.

In my dissertation, Social Service Organizations as Mediators of Institutional Change in Municipal Public Safety, I investigate service provider behaviors and relationships in cities undertaking policy based institutional change in public safety (e.g., defunding the police). These cities have shifted public safety resources and responsibilities from punitive carceral systems to social service organizations. I ask: how do social service organizations and providers mediate institutional change in public safety? My work answers this question through a qualitative, comparative case study of social service organizations and providers in two relevant cities. I conducted virtual ethnography of city level processes (1,500 hours over 21 months) and interviews of organizational actors (N = 54), respectively, to connect policy based institutional change efforts with service provider mediations of change on the ground.

My dissertation findings align with my three areas of research inquiry. First, I uncover contested institutional logics of public safety (e.g., a punishment logic and multiple logics of care) in the environment. Using these findings, I develop a theoretical framework for “institutional disentangling” to understand how organizational and street level processes contribute to the dismantling of existing institutional arrangements. As both institutional and carceral scholarship are often concerned with the expansion or intertwining of institutional logics, I instead contribute to novel debates on institutional and carceral disruption through policy change Second, I show how relationships between actors implementing new approaches to public safety shape (and are shaped by) contested notions of legitimate services. I argue that the legitimacy of new approaches among service providers is critical as they emerge as increasingly viable alternatives to policing, yet do so in fields of public safety with existing and shifting ties between carceral and social service systems, organizations, and providers. Finally, I examine the strategies used by service providers and related actors within organizations to mediate institutional change in public safety, including advocacy for preferred public safety approaches, attempts to influence competing approaches, and shifting service provider practices towards minimizing

punishment and interactions with carceral systems. With these results, I provide insight into the roles and practices of street level social workers that contribute to policy based institutional change efforts

My dissertation project contributes to our understanding of public safety policy in historically marginalized communities, especially along the intersecting lines of race and class I offer a unique contribution by focusing on service providers’ policy implementation processes. I attend to the behaviors and relationships of social service provider implementers as key factors influencing improvements to local public safety. In doing so, I will contribute to discussions on how non punitive public safety policy goals can be either promoted or impeded through different care based policy changes and associated service provider practices.

My publication record is strong, both solo and collaboratively. In a qualitative solo authored paper published in Social Service Review (IF 1.7), I investigate the shifting behaviors and relationships of philanthropic actors during the War on Poverty era. Using archival evidence, I found that changes in welfare policy and structural racism prompted philanthropic actors to pursue three mechanisms protecting, strengthening, and expanding regarding their role and power in their human services ecosystem Through this project, I deepened my interest in the connection between policy and street level processes in organizations. Building off this work, a narrative review paper under review, co authored with Drs. Sunggeun (Ethan) Park and Rogério Pinto, illuminates organizational factors (e.g., policies, environmental conditions, and service provider collaboration) affecting dissemination and implementation processes in social service organizations.

As a mixed methods researcher, I also utilize quantitative methods to explore my research aims. As part of an interdisciplinary research team focused on LGBTQ service provider discrimination, I led most of the quantitative analyses for the research and played a primary role in co publishing eight articles in journals such as Social Science & Medicine Population Health (IF 4.8), Health and Social Work (IF 1.9), and Journal of Interpersonal Violence (IF 2.6). Using large datasets of service users collected by community organizations and coalitions (N = 27,715), we explored how discriminatory policy implementation and service provider practices shaped healthcare access for transgender and nonbinary (TNB) populations. Collectively, these papers show how policymakers and practitioners can change policy and organizational and service practices to improve TNB service experiences.

My research trajectory in social work has a strong foundation, demonstrates my dedication to timely and collaborative research, and advances my exploration of policy implementation in social welfare and carceral fields. As an example, I have secured external grant funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for a mixed methods project exploring how providers in social service and community based organizations implement bail services and promote pre trial detention policy reform through philanthropic partnerships. This project engages in community driven research with a national nonprofit, gathers proprietary quantitative data on funders and grantees, and conducts semi structured interviews with nearly 50 actors in foundations and grantee organizations. Additionally, I am part of a team of social work scholars using archival methods to understand how social workers have historically implemented services in relation to police, particularly given broader policy shifts in welfare and criminal legal systems. These projects and my dissertation create the building blocks for my future research agenda; I am eager to look to local and national funders for support.

As an emerging social work scholar, I aim to bring a critical lens to the study of policy implementation in social welfare and carceral systems, and in doing so my work contributes to both the Promote Smart Decarceration and Eliminate Racism Grand Challenges of Social Work. I contribute to urgent contemporary debates among scholars, policymakers, and advocates regarding the relationship between social work and carceral systems. By centering the complexity of policy implementation by service providers, my research aims to understand and elevate both actual and potential strategies used by social workers to transform their work with marginalized communities in relation to policy shifts, resource dynamics, and institutional change to advance equity and social justice.

My professional goal as a social work educator is to support service providers in effectively implementing services and shaping policy to benefit marginalized groups within dynamic service contexts. I advance this goal through research, teaching, and social work practice, with my teaching approach as one core strategy.

My substantial teaching experience with both graduate and undergraduate students in social work and related fields has been in both in person and online settings. Most recently, I taught two graduate level macro practice courses and one research methods course at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. At the undergraduate level, I taught a four semester civic leadership course that emphasized deep mentorship and community engaged learning, which allowed me to integrate my practice experience as a community based trainer and inter group dialogue facilitator. Across all my teaching, I incorporate research, facilitation, and social work practice skills and experiences to promote student learning.

In my approach to education, I believe in cultivating inclusive and collaborative pedagogical spaces where students participate fully in their own development to meet their learning needs and growth. This belief is grounded in anti oppressive pedagogy, inspired by Paulo Freire. I am deeply committed to facilitating courses where students gain essential social work knowledge and skills by reflecting upon their lived experiences and learning content that aligns with their professional needs.

To facilitate this approach, I combine experiential learning and critical self reflection. I design and implement hands on experiential learning activities in which students learn, reflect upon, and apply the knowledge and skills essential to future social work practice. For example, in one module of my foundational macro practice course, Introduction to Community Organization, Management, and Policy/Evaluation Practice, I implemented an exercise to teach one on one relationship building as an essential skill for effective social work practice. Students engaged in several rounds of skill building practice with each other, which brought to life the policy advocacy and organizing frameworks they had learned through readings, videos, and lectures. To solidify experiential learning, I facilitate reflective discussion and writing in three stages: 1) what they learned; 2) why it matters; and 3) how they might use it in future practice. I particularly encourage students to reflect upon the applicability and transferability of skills like relationship building to their own professional development and goals. This process exemplifies my approach to experiential learning, which also incorporates multiple pedagogical tools that cater to diverse learning styles.

I use project based learning to integrate the experiential learning process throughout my courses For instance, the same macro practice course culminates in a group based policy or program intervention proposal assignment I ask students to treat their assignment groups as macro task groups in which they practice the mezzo and macro skills, like power mapping and logic modeling, learned throughout the course. These iterative activities mirror those typically undertaken by social workers collaborating in organizations and produces deliverables that are part of the final assignment, which could even be shared with future employers. I ask students to engage in self reflective journaling throughout the process to help them recognize their learning, strengths, and future growth needs. This pedagogical technique reflects my belief that student centered experiential learning reinforces knowledge and skills, which assists students in real world practice settings long after a course ends.

Critical self reflection is the process of understanding and challenging deeply held personal assumptions about the world. These assumptions relate to systems of oppression in which social work practitioners operate and advance social justice To advance student learning in consideration of social work values, I incorporate critical self reflection into my classes. My goal is for marginalized groups’ direct experiences with oppression to inform student reflection. For example, when teaching a module on policy analysis and advocacy, I incorporated readings and media that centered the perspectives of individuals who identify as LGBTQ and BIPOC, which exposed students to the challenges of pursuing intersectional policy change. Concomitantly, I invite students to write critical self reflections on this content, including how their own positionality and experiences of privilege and oppression informs both their learning and potential paths to addressing oppressive systems as a social worker. I model this process in my own teaching by discussing how

my own identities as a white, queer, non binary, low income, and first generation person shape my development and practice as a social worker and teacher. As students can find this process personally challenging, I call upon my experiences as an inter group dialogue facilitator and encourage students to engage with their “learning edge;” the space where they are open to authentic, challenging dialogue and affectively “comfortable with discomfort.” I begin courses by facilitating group norming and learning contract activities to foster the shared understanding and group cohesion necessary for developing this environment.

My teaching extends beyond the classroom. I have provided both pedagogical supports to faculty and research mentoring to students. First, in my Instructional Specialist position at Washington University in St. Louis, I supported faculty across campus in the development and implementation of community engaged teaching and pedagogy. I conducted trainings, consultations, community partnership development, and grant support for faculty courses. I also partnered with the Brown School of Social Work, which utilized my expertise in front line and organizational social work practice to develop foundational mezzo level curriculum that bridged the gap between micro and macro courses in the school. I enjoy developing curriculum that allows me to connect my social work practice, research, and teaching experiences

Further, I also have experience in mentoring graduate student research. In my role as head of research and evaluation at the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement, I supervised master’s level research fellows, who worked both independently and collectively to evaluate the Institute’s programs and investigate evidence informed practices In doing so, I endeavored to find a fit between the student’s research interests and the needs of the Institute. I taught the students basic research methodology, supervised their progress, and led team meetings in which we collectively grappled with our learning and challenges of conducting applied research.

Students evaluate my teaching positively, remarking on my interactive style, incorporation of social justice content, and ability to connect theory and practice. My average instructor scores across all graduate level courses taught are between 4.6 and 5.0 (out of 5.0), and my ability to teach inclusively to students of different identities and abilities was 4.9/5.0. These metrics hold true even for students with a micro clinical concentration taking my macro focused courses. The evaluation of one student captured my teaching effectiveness:

“Matthew's own mastery of the curriculum content was apparent; he conveyed the course material effectively and created great opportunities for elaboration through class discussions. He brought his real world experiences to better describe community organization and management. His enthusiasm for macro practice was contagious and inspiring.”

Another student shared their evaluation of a research methods course:

“I appreciate how he authentically incorporates content about social injustice, and it never seems like he's trying to talk about privilege, oppression, diversity, and social justice. It's just part of the work, and never *not* part of the work, so it's in every conversation. I also really respect that it comes across in a way that reflects how justice work is important to him personally.”

Students not only grasped the material in my courses, but also felt inspired and engaged; in all my courses, I aim to cultivate such an ethos that challenges and motivates students

My diverse teaching experiences have reinforced my deep commitment to social work education. I aim to continue contributing to student learning and am prepared to teach courses in several areas. I am qualified to teach courses in policy, organizations and management, community change, research methods and evaluation, LGBTQ issues and practice, and human behavior in the social environment, among other areas. I look forward to advancing social work education and contributing to the teaching mission of a university.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

As a clinical scientist, I examine the transmission of the effects of trauma from mother to child prenatally, postnatally, and when women are parenting young children. My goal is to reduce these effects in families by improving interventions for trauma exposed women as they become parents. Ultimately, I seek to create treatments that target intergenerational transmission and that are responsive to community needs. I center my work in understanding how mothers are shaped by the social structures in which they are embedded. My research is grounded in my clinical experience with structurally disadvantaged women with complex trauma histories My clinical work as a fully licensed clinical social worker integrates trauma informed approaches and translates research into trauma informed public scholarship and clinical tools for adults, children, and clinicians.

1 All of the degree requirements have been met and approved, but awarding of the official diploma by the Mexican government is pending due to an issue with my student visa.

AWARDED MAJOR RESEARCH GRANTS (ACTIVE)

American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship 825916 Stein (PI) 8/1/2021-7/31/2023

Mechanisms of intergenerational risk transmission from maternal trauma to offspring obesity $133,480.00 The goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of risk from mother’s trauma exposure to offspring obesity risk via maternal postpartum functioning and obesity promoting parenting behaviors. Identification of the mechanisms by which trauma affects maternal postpartum functioning and in turn, parenting practices that confer risk for childhood obesity will allow specification of novel intervention targets for early childhood obesity prevention and mitigate later cardiovascular disease risk.

Sara F. Stein, PhD, LMSW: Research Statement

My research seeks to answer the question: How do we stop effects of trauma from being transmitted to the next generation? As a clinical scientist grounded in ecological systems theory, science of early development, life course health development, and attachment theory, I examine transmission of the effects of trauma (i.e. intergenerational trauma) from mother to child prenatally, postnatally, and when women are parenting young children. My goal is to utilize my deeper understandings of effects of intergenerational trauma to reduce these effects in families by improving interventions for trauma exposed women as they become parents. My current foundational work has examined individual and structural trauma related concerns in two complementary lines of inquiry: 1) Characterizing how trauma impacts women’s health and parenting during sensitive periods for intergenerational transmission; and 2) Conducting community based, trauma informed intervention research and translation. Ultimately, I seek to further my research program by creating interventions that target intergenerational transmission and that are responsive to community needs. I center my work in understanding how mothers are shaped by discriminatory and marginalizing social structures in which they are embedded.

My research is informed by my experience as a fully licensed clinical social worker with structurally marginalized women with complex trauma histories. My clients experience challenges stemming from emotional and behavioral dysregulation. Their trauma reveals itself in interpersonal relationships, parenting, and weight and eating difficulties. My clients often ask, “How do I not pass on these ‘struggles’ to my children?” and blame themselves despite structural factors that contribute to these challenges and infringe on their capacity to stop the cycle. They are frustrated by current treatments which often only center parent education and behavioral modification approaches. Despite temporary gains, emotional disruptions due to trauma and failure of many of these interventions to robustly address structural factors undermine their effectiveness for these women. My clients seek answers and relief. We urgently need to identify mechanisms that explain intergenerational transmission and develop responsive interventions that are acceptable and accessible to families. My program of research applies theory and clinically informed observations to examine such mechanisms among trauma exposed samples using sophisticated methodologies and centering marginalizing and discriminatory structural factors.

Research Area 1. How trauma impacts women’s health and parenting during sensitive periods

Trauma can negatively affect mental health, physical health, and parenting (Graham Bermann & Stein, 2018), mechanisms which may drive intergenerational transmission. To start, we must identify how these mechanisms develop in women prenatally, postnatally, and when parenting young children. My first line of research characterizes these mechanisms during these sensitive periods.

Mental Health. Using quantitative analytic methods (i.e. longitudinal multilevel, latent growth curve, and structural equation modeling) to examine clinical interview and assessment data, my research demonstrates the long term mental health effects of IPV on mothers of young children (Stein et al., 2021). For example, domestic violence shelter use was a pathway by which IPV leads to mothers’ posttraumatic stress over eight years (Galano, Stein, et al., 2021), indicating such services are not sufficiently grounded in trauma informed care. Results suggest shelters should increase staff education on posttraumatic stress, prioritize symptom assessment, and connect women to trauma therapy and social supports. Yet, intervening when women already have children may be too late, as transmission may have already started (Galano, Stein, et al., 2022). In current work examining trauma and mental health in pregnancy (Stein et al., In Preparation, NICHD R01HD100469), women of color were more likely than white women to experience PTSD symptoms, suggesting structural discrimination (e.g. racism) may shape mental health at this critical time for intervention.

Physical Health. Given strong links between trauma and poor physical health, my postdoctoral work, funded by the American Heart Association (825916; Stein, PI), examines how problematic eating emerges in trauma exposed women during pregnancy and the postpartum period, which are known to be sensitive times for intergenerational transmission. I found that emotion regulation difficulties are a pathway by which childhood malt reatment leads to obesogenic eating in pregnancy (Stein, Nuttall, et al., In Preparation: NICHD R01HD100469), and that postpartum depression is a pathway through which women’s childhood trauma leads to problematic eating (Stein, Rios, et al., Under Review; NICHD R01HD084163). Further, the association between an infants’ distress and amount they consume after waiting for food became stronger with age, a possible sign of relying on food to soothe, a risk factor for obesity (Stein, Riley, et al., 2022; NICHD R01HD084163). This work points to mental health and emotion regulation as potential, novel targets of intervention to stop intergenerational transmission of trauma related eating and weight concerns during sensitive periods.

Parenting. Parenting is a known likely intergenerational transmission pathway. My research shows how trauma related mental and physical health problems may lead to suboptimal parenting practices during the critical early parenting period

Sara F. Stein, PhD, LMSW: Research Statement

(Stein, Hunter et al., 2020; Stein, Prakken, et al., 2022; Grogan Kaylor, Stein, et al., 2019). Specifically, depression and posttraumatic stress symptoms, as well as unemployment, drove risk for suboptimal parenting (e.g., spanking, lack of involvement, poor monitoring, inconsistent discipline, difficulty accepting negative emotions). Findings suggest that both mental health and discriminatory and marginalizing social structures may be important targets for interventions to mitigate the impact of trauma on parenting and, in turn, interrupt the intergenerational effects of trauma.

Research Area 2: Community based, trauma informed program research and translation

My second line of research illustrates my community based approach to trauma informed intervention. The characterization of individual level mechanisms by which trauma impacts women’s health and parenting during sensitive periods provides targeted information for how to intervene to stop intergenerational transmission as women become parents. Yet, women are embedded in discriminatory and marginalizing social structures that may be traumatic, like racism and poverty, that also need to be addressed. My trauma informed lens supports better understanding these contexts of marginalization and discrimination with an ultimate goal to create interventions informed by community needs.

My experience evaluating and culturally adapting community based interventions (Galano, Grogan Kaylor, Stein, et al., 2016; Stein et al., 2021) has equipped me with skills to design and test trauma informed interventions. I co led randomized controlled trials testing the effectiveness of an interpersonally based group treatment for IPV exposed mothers of young children (Galano, Stein, et al., 2021; Stein, Prakken, et al., 2022; Stein et al., 2022). Despite positive short term impacts, we found limited effectiveness for stopping IPV over time, which may in part be due to elevated rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms in the sample (Stein, Galano, et al., Under Review; Galano, Stein et al., 2021) and systemic marginalization, like housing access, that were not addressed. To intervene more effectively, we need to better understand risk factors for interpersonal trauma. We found that trauma in childhood, mental health, and income were mechanisms of IPV risk (Ngo, Ramirez, Stein, et al., 2018, NIAA K23AA022641; Stein et al., 2019), and I tested these ideas in my dissertation. Findings show that posttraumatic reexperiencing and arousal symptoms, income, and housing instability predicted IPV in women with young children (Stein, et al., 2022; Stein, Galano, et al., Under Review). This work suggests that posttraumatic stress and systemic marginalization are key risk factors to address through interventions.

Understanding what communities and clinicians who serve them need regarding trauma is at the heart of my work. I have identified how systemic marginalization and discrimination (e.g. lack of access to health care, stable housing, and employment) impact women with young children, especially women of color (Adams, Clark, Galano, Stein, et al. 2018; Dicorcia, Stein, et al., 2016; Sokol, Ammer, Stein, et al., 2021; Stein et al., 2021; Stein et al., 2022). In response to focus groups I conducted about trauma and maternal health in rural Honduras that revealed limited availability and distrust in formal support resources were key barriers, I developed an intervention guide for trauma exposed mothers that focused on intervention timing and identification of local champions for women’s rights for intervention delivery and support (Stein & Bayer, 2018). In other work, I co developed a model of how child health at a population level depends on the relational health of interconnected sectors and systems that serve families, especially in the context of trauma (Miller, Stein, et al., 2022). Finally, I translate my expertise to communities through trauma related public scholarship. I co founded Tender Press Books to provide theoretically based, empirically driven, and free clinical resources in multiple languages to young children and families facing traumas (e.g., forced separation at the US southern border (Ribaudo, Stein, et al., 2018; Safyer, Stein, et al., 2021)) and tools for clinicians working with families (Ribaudo, Stein, Safyer, 2018).

Future research

To continue advancing my program of research, I aim to secure an academic position at an institution where I can participate in interdisciplinary research to characterize intergenerational transmission and design community responsive, effective interventions. As a junior faculty member, I will study intergenerational pathways from maternal trauma to child functioning. I will initially accomplish this using extant, novel, longitudinal datasets that I have access to (NICHD R01HD100469, NICHD R01HD085990) to examine the relationship between eating, weight, and parenting among a sample of high risk women exposed to prenatal trauma and their children (N=335). I will examine materna l mental and physical health and parenting as candidate pathways from women’s trauma to child health outcomes at 2.5 and 4 years.

Over the next five years as an Assistant Professor, I plan to apply for NIH funding (e.g. K01, R21, R34; NICHD, NIMH) to collect biomarker data (e.g. heartrate variability; cortisol) to examine how structural factors get “under the skin” and impact intergenerational health and well being. I am interested in collecting this data to simulate a model of intergenerational transmission of trauma that includes mental health, physical health, parenting, and biological factors

Sara F. Stein, PhD, LMSW: Research Statement

within the broader context of relevant structural factors identified in my research (e.g. racism; housing inequities; poverty). I will use an intersectional lens to explore how systemic marginalization and discrimination of women’s identities contribute to risk and protection in these domains along the intergenerational transmission pathway. As my career develops further, I will seek further appropriate R level support to further understand the traumatic nature and long term health impacts of racism and structural discrimination

My longer term goal is to use the individual and structural mechanistic findings from my work to create more effective, community responsive, trauma informed interventions. This phase of my research will consider, “How can we reduce the impact of structural burdens on trauma exposed women through individual treatment?” Although rectifying these problems through structural change is the ultimate solution, we urgently need ways to reduce their impact in order to improve health and wellbeing intergenerationally. I will continue to seek external sources of funding (e.g. NIH, CDC, AHA) that allow me to design and test community based interventions. As a clinically driven researcher, I will continue to partner with communities to translate findings to children and families and the clinicians who serve them.

My work is motivated by clinical experience working with traumatized families, which has shown me that we do not yet have answers for how to robustly stop intergenerational transmission of trauma. I hope to join a school of social work to help stop the detrimental spread of health risks in families.
