His research focuses on teacher development, educator preparation, professional identity, motivation, and the retention of early-career teachers. His work examines how institutional, organizational, and psychological factors shape teachers' professional experiences, with particular attention to teacher preparation pathways, mentoring and induction, professional learning, school climate, and teacher well-being. He draws extensively on mixed methods approaches and seeks to connect empirical research with practical improvements in teacher preparation and support. Through his teaching and research, he is particularly interested in understanding how educational institutions can better support teachers across the continuum from preparation through the early years of professional practice.
