Interests:

My primary interests are ensuring the necessary state supports are in place for young children and families by building a true early childhood system, designing a state early childhood budget, and documenting the economic impact of early care and education. My research interests are in the economic benefits of investing in young children and prevention programs and how the results of research in early childhood influence public policy decisions.
