I graduated from Ohio State University with a B.S. in Psychology in 1989 went on to Michigan State University and earned an MA (1992) and a Ph.D. (1994) in Developmental Psychology. I went on to Arizona State University for a postdoctoral position at the Program for Prevention Research a Center of Excellence funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. I began at Duke University in the fall of 1996 as an Assistant Professor of Psychology and I am currently an Associate Professor of Psychology.

My research interests include understanding parenting and family socialization in diverse contexts. Specifically, my research focuses on how parenting and family socialization vary across ethnic and socioeconomic groups and demographic variations in the relationship between family dynamics and children's school performance and other developmental outcomes. Specific projects include Project PASS (Promoting Academic Success for Students), which explores family related predictors of children's early school performance; New Beginnings (a parenting intervention for divorced families), a multisite study of the similarities and differences in the impact of divorce on parenting among African American, Euro-American and Mexican American families; and the Study Group on Culture and Ethnicity, an interdisciplinary group of nationally known scholars brought together to develop theory and methodology for defining and understanding the cultural context within diverse families.
