My first andprimary research interest is to examine sociocultural influences on parenting, parent-child relations, and child development. My second research interest is to develop culturally grounded self-report parenting measures. My third area of researchis translational in that it identifies evidence-based practices for engaging culturally, ethnically, linguistically, and socio-economically diverse families in educational settings. To address my research goals, I draw on quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.
