About

My research focuses on public health approaches to violence prevention, including gender-based violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, firearm violence, and child maltreatment. I am particularly interested in the overlap between gender-based violence, public health, and legal systems. At UNC, I have worked on an evaluation of an intervention that facilitates electronic filing for domestic violence protective orders in North Carolina, the development of a trauma-informed intervention program for domestic violence offenders, and an evaluation of an Attorney Guardian Ad Litem program for children involved in high-conflict domestic violence custody cases. My dissertation research aims to determine the effectiveness of domestic violence protective order-related firearm restrictions on subsequent firearm-related violence and survivor safety.
