My interest in family issues led me to carrying out an extensive qualitative research study on sibling abuse, and I have presented nationally on the topic. I recently received the Educating Communities/Diversity Award from Long Island Business News. I am committed to creating inclusive school environments and increasing our primary and secondary school's culturally responsive educational practices. I am excited to produce a podcast launching November 2022 on clinical issues which can be accessed through my website (on the "podcast" tab) or on spotify, apple, or google titled "WWDMD: Insights not Oversights".
