Discovery is only the first step—application is what creates impact. My work has focused on ensuring that scientific insights are translated into tools and strategies that can be used in real-world settings.

This includes working with educators to develop interventions that are grounded in neuroscience. It also involves communicating findings in ways that are accessible and actionable.

The ultimate goal is to create a feedback loop where research informs practice, and practice informs research. This dynamic relationship is key to continuous improvement.

This award recognizes the importance of that process.
