After completing my PhD at the University of Sheffield in the U.K., I spent 5 years working with Dr. Michael Lamb at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland.
I joined the faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2001 and was promoted to professor in 2009. While at Laurier, my research has been funded through grants awarded from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC); the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC); the Canadian Foundation for Innovation; the Ontario Innovation Trust; the Ministry of Enterprise, Opportunity and Innovation; the Australian Research Council, and the Department of Justice.
I run the Child Memory Lab and enjoy working with graduate and undergraduate students, families in the community, doctors, nurses, social workers, lawyers, teachers and other professionals who work with children. I founded the BrainWorx summer camp to improve the diversity of children involved in STEM. I am regularly consulted by judges, attorneys, police services and social work agencies regarding proper interviewing practices with children.
I conduct basic and applied research using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. My research has educational, forensic, and wellbeing applications.
