I was hired as the second full-time employee at ABC at the University of Delaware in 2015. In my roles at ABC I was integral to nurturing the growth of a team and program that quickly grew and evolved. I directed ABC's fidelity coding and supervision arm until 2020, growing and optimizing a system which currently supports more than 10,000 fidelity supervision meetings annually. I served as a lead trainer and supervisor, conducting over 40 trainings and supervising over 100 ABC clinicians across 28 states and 8 international countries. I also trained and provided consultation for a network of ABC supervisors, growing this team from around 5 individuals in 2015 to over 50 individuals in 2022. Since 2015 I have been actively involved in disseminating home visiting/early childhood research by presenting findings on a local and national level and representing ABC in meetings with national model leaders.As ABC Clinical Director from 2020-2022, I managed a dynamic team of supervisors, promoting a collaborative and communicative workplace culture. I worked with ABC senior leadership to develop, track and refine strategic initiatives based on relevant research, policy, and recommendations from stakeholders. I also provided consultation for community dissemination partners across the United States, engaging in early-stage planning around training organization, program evaluation development, funder reporting, and eventual scaling and sustainability. This required a deep understanding of the region where ABC was being disseminated, including culture, workforce, policy, and funding as well as expertise in national policies, trends, and evidence-base. Underlying all of my work has been a commitment to equity and advancing racial justice. I use science to support my work, while also valuing and genuinely incorporating family, provider, and community voice. As a leader, I promote these same principles in relationships with team members.

Under the supervision of Dr. Esther Deblinger, one of the developers of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I delivered TF-CBT to children aged 6-18 years old and their families. I also conducted screening evaluations and worked as part of a multidisciplinary team to determine service recommendations for children entering foster care to promote successful child and family outcomes.

I was the primary Research Specialist hired for a grant funded by an NIMH K Award (PI: Dr. Amy Herschell). In this role I developed relationships with community partners and consulted on collecting research data consistently and accurately for study success. I also frequently attended training workshops on dissemination and implementation science, community outreach, and racial equity.
