Invited research trainings
Fragile Families 2016 Summer Data Workshop
The Columbia Population Research Center hosted the Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop from June 15-17, 2016, at Columbia University in New York City. The workshop was targeted toward early-career scholars from social science disciplines and was designed to familiarize participants with the data available in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a national study following a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their children.
Mentoring
Beginning Fall 2014, I have mentored Olivia Moncibaez and ReAnne Colacicco, both FSHD seniors, as part of FSHD 492 Directed Research. Olivia and ReAnne have were my research assistants for up to two semesters. I continue to advise them on graduate school applications and post-undergraduate career plans. Olivia is pursuing her teaching credential at Grand Canyon University. ReAnne is a recent graduate, who won the Outstanding Senior Award in Family Studies and Human Development and is applying to doctoral programs in Applied Developmental Science. Specific to ReAnne, I trained her in R statistical software to recode variables and learn how to run correlations.
