Violent crimes including assault, robbery, and homicide often have devastating effects on those who experience such events. To this end, I’m working on a few projects exploring gender issues as they relate to resilience, recovery, and service utilization. |
Project Summary |

Ongoing Projects · Experiences of Covictims of Homicide · Sexual Assault Survivors Navigating the System: From Rape Exam to Sex offender Registry · Understanding how the qualitative caretaker roles, provider roles, and gender are related to trauma response · Conceptual model analysis |

I began my doctoral studies exploring gender differences in appraisal and recovery from violent crime. Specifically, I incorporated cognitive behavioral theories with gender specific ideas to develop a processing model that I explored using a qualitative design.
From this early work I expanded my ideas to incorporate the needs/experiences of sexual assault survivors and covictims of homicide. Current projects focus on service utilization and case flow analysis.
