What I'm Doing Now

This is my now page. Basically, it is a summary of what I’m doing these days. I update this page every few months. 

Roles

I am an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Utah State University. I work mostly in the School Psychology PhD program and EdS program. I am the Director of Training for the PhD program.

In my role as a professor, I teach graduate seminars on school-based mental health services and provide clinical training and supervision for students doing practicum in schools. I also run the School Mental Health Lab. My lab does applied research on youth mental health and school-based mental health services. I mentor 6 fabulous PhD students in my lab.

Outside my professor role, I am an Associate Editor for two peer-reviewed journals: School Psychology Review and Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment. I also help support the Utah School Mental Health Collaborative.

Projects

I've got an unruly number of research projects going on lately. I have not yet figured out how to present current projects in a meaningful way on this page. Maybe I will in the future. In the meantime, see my Google Scholar profile for a listing of recent publications. These papers are a good representation of the kinds or work my lab is doing. 

Horizon

I have submitted my dossier for promotion to full professor at USU. Now I'm waiting on the official decision, which should arrive sometime in early 2025.

A few months ago, I was selected as the next Editor for School Psychology Review. My Editor-Elect year will begin in 2025, then I will serve a 5-year term as Editor in Chief from 2026–2030. 

I am planning to take sabbatical in the 2025–26 academic year.
