Connecting with communitiesI view translation of research to practice and collaboration with youth development practitioners as essential components of my work, and aim to bridge research and practice to support practitioners in providing effective and high quality services. For example, my work at the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research at Cornell University from 2015 to 2018 allowed me to focus more closely on partnership-building, developing an understanding of the varied needs and constraints that researchers and practitioners bring to any potential project and working to develop resources to build collaborative capacity.
