My research focus is on methods and factors that facilitate the career development and transition to work of minorities and adolescents. I am particularly interested in career and guidance program evaluation through urban and rural school systems, and Native American tribes. I am also committed to the development of counseling and assessment applications. Currently I am testing a model of career counseling and development as it applies to ethnic minority and inner-city adolescents.
