Research interests include understanding the equity gap in young children's school readiness skills and ways to reduce it. This involves designing and examining the effectiveness of educational interventions created to help children's early science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning. These interventions include hands-on activities, like block-building, as well as educational app use in both early home environments and formal educational settings, like classrooms.

Research focus: How can we help all students learn hard things? The CalStateLA Learning Lab conducts research on this question and other important questions about learning and development to address major issues in education. Our lab (in partnership with the UCLA Teaching and Learning Lab) has developed a unique interactive statistics textbook (check it out at CourseKata.org) to study how to promote strong and flexible learning in statistics and data science.
