While at UD, Amanda worked as a research associate under the mentorship of Dr. Mary Dozier in the Attachment & Biobehavioral Catch-up lab, which studies the effects of early adversity on child development. Upon graduation, she accepted a full time position with the lab and supervised and tracked fidelity for clinicians implementing both the infant and toddler models of the intervention in the community. She was also involved as a parent coach in the ongoing clinical trial of a modified version of ABC, for families struggling with opioid dependence. In the evenings, Amanda worked as a pediatric extern at Nemours/A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children in the Parent-Child Conduct Clinic. Amanda also volunteered as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children and adolescents in the foster care system. She currently works under the mentorship of Dr. Betty Lin in the Family and Baby Development lab. Her primary research interests include studying the intergenerational effects of adverse childhood experiences, child and family factors that contribute to health, developmental outcomes, and well-being in underserved populations, perinatal and maternal stress, and improving the dissemination and implementation of interventions aimed to serve high-risk and underserved populations in community, school, and primary care settings.
