My research seeks to help bridge the research-to-practice gap. My scholarship focuses on two lines of research: (a) identifying effective instructional methods for supporting student behavior and (b) investigating innovative and responsive technology-based methods for training teacher candidates and sustaining in-service educators, especially for those working with diverse student populations. Across these lines, I draw on theories related to applied behavior analysis, practiced-based professional development, cultural humility in education, communities of practice, and multimedia design theory.  My publication record includes over 70 peer-reviewed articles and several book chapters. I have collaboratively secured over $7 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation and the South Carolina Department of Education. Over the past few years, I have received several national awards such as the Martin J. Kaufman Distinguished Early Career Research Award (2025) from the Council for Exceptional Children’s Division of Research and E.G. "Ted" Carr Initial Research Award (2021) from the Association of Positive Behavior Supports. I currently serve as an associate editor for Teacher Education and Special Education and am a member of several editorial boards (e.g., Behavioral Disorders, Exceptional Children, Journal of Special Education Technology).
