Judy’s CV is attached and a biosketch is provided below.
Judy draws from her personal background as a Salvadoran immigrant and her professional applied clinical work (more than 15 years) with children and families to inform her scholarship. Judy’s research focuses on the well-being of young children, birth to five years old, with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention (PEI) initiatives. Her dissertation explores the role of parental involvement among low-SES students, preschool through second grade, who are closing the low/high-SES achievement gap. The strengths-based, two-phase explanatory sequential mixed methods dissertation enhances the existing longitudinal and experimental study, the NIDDK-funded Chicago Heights Early Childhood Center (CHECC) (PI: Samek). Access to the CHECC infrastructure, along with a multidisciplinary dissertation committee enables Judy to have a rich, unique, and transdisciplinary perspective. Public health implications of her dissertation highlight possible points of intervention to improve early childhood education programs that benefit low-SES preschool students. Additionally, Judy has taught graduate-level practice and research courses in the USC Keck School of Medicine and USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.
Judy lists her research and practice interests as:
