RESEARCH INTERESTS I am focused on qualitative research that advances the voices of care leavers (former foster youth) as they emerge into adulthood, both in the United States and abroad. My research is grounded in positive youth development and capital development principles. My goal is to improve practice and policy by uncovering the reasons that present practice or policy may not be effective at addressing the negative outcomes of care leavers during adulthood.
