Research Interests: My research explores children's and adolescents' experiences and adjustment with friends and other peers. My most recent research focuses on the origins and consequences of children’s jealousy and envy surrounding their friendships and the roles that these feelings plays in children’s self-esteem, aggressive behavior, gossip, and efforts to exclude others.  I also have been extensively involved in bullying prevention and reduction efforts in middle schools and regularly conduct workshops on these topics for students, teachers, and other professionals.
