My research program focuses on improving the health outcomes of children with chronic conditions, particularly those with asthma. As a scientist-clinician, I draw on my experience as a primary care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner to develop innovative strategies that reduce asthma symptoms and help children establish lifelong self-management skills.
Currently, my research centers on assessing children's cognitive capacity to take responsibility for asthma management and developing family-centered health technologies that support shared asthma management between parents and children. My interdisciplinary approach incorporates human-centered design, family informatics, behavior change theory, and dyadic methodology.
