Research/Areas of Interest
I am interested in metacognition in education, specifically how metacognition can
grow or improve over time due to interventions in learning settings. Studying professional
development of graduate students and faculty is another passion of mine. I am planning
on studying metacognitive growth over the course of learning communities to see how
graduate students and/or faculty can become more aware of their own thinking in order
to benefit their students’ learning. I would also like to focus on the impacts of
career preparation and ongoing professional development in educational disciplines.
