Research Interests

My educational research interests are primarily focused on student debt and financial literacy as it affects current students in the health professions. I have recently completed a multi-institutional study as PI on financial literacy in matriculating DPT students. I recently developed a financial education curriculum and am studying the changes in financial literacy following reception of this content in DPT students.
