| Student Secretary – Callie Walsh-Bailey |  |
I am a research specialist working with Dr. Cara Lewis at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute and will be starting PhD studies this fall. I am interested in bringing a social determinants of health lens to implementation science and improving care chronic illness care, especially for individuals whose conditions may be exacerbated by social, economic, and behavioral needs. I have extensive experience recording meeting minutes, tracking decisions, and coordinating tasks and would be delighted to lend my skills as SIRC Student Secretary. |
| Student Communications Officer – Vivian Byeon |  |
I am currently a clinical research coordinator at the Penn Center for Mental Health at the University of Pennsylvania. In Fall 2019, I will be starting as a first-year student in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am interested in improving the adoption and sustainment of evidence-based practices in community settings domestically and globally, specifically through the development of organizational and system-level implementation strategies. |
| Student Conference Chair – Meagan Pilar |  |
I am a second year doctoral student in the public health sciences program at Washington University in St. Louis. My research interests include implementing evidence-based mental health interventions and investigating factors that improve programmatic sustainability. |
| Student Membership Officer – Madeline Larson |  |
I am a third year doctoral student in the school psychology program at the University of Minnesota. Overall, my work focuses on promoting youth and family access to high-quality behavioral health services via the implementation evidence-based treatments (EBT) in community-based and non-specialty settings. To achieve this work, my research centers on: (1) community-academic partnerships, intermediaries, and embedded research; (2) identification of determinants and design of implementation strategies that enhance successful uptake and delivery of EBT; as well as (3) identification and pragmatic measurement of mechanisms by which implementation strategies work to more precisely match strategies to barriers that impede successful uptake and delivery of EBT. |
| Student Representative – Tatiana Elisa Bustos |  |
I am a third-year doctoral student in Michigan State University’s Ecological Community Psychology, working with Dr. Amy Drahota. My research interests focus on dissemination and implementation (D&I) science, program evaluation, and health service disparities. Broadly, my work focuses on effective ways to promote health equity and to improve access to health services, particularly among youth and communities of color. |
| Student Representative – Sarah Tanveer |  |
I am current graduate student at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I am interested in the intersection between neurological disorders and implementation of clinical practice guidelines. |
| Student Representative – Stephanie Yu |  |
I am a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at UCLA, working with Dr. Anna Lau as my primary mentor. I am passionate about the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) into community mental health settings to reduce mental health disparities for low-income, diverse populations; specifically, I am interested in 1) developing adaptation frameworks to increase fit of interventions to the complex contexts and diverse patient populations of community mental health, 2) disparities in minority mental health care access, and 3) cultivating community-university partnerships for knowledge exchange to enhance EBP implementation and sustainment. I would love to be a resource to other members who are hoping to get more involved in SIRC, particularly in facilitating the process of networking and developing opportunities for mentors to support and guide mentees (and vice versa) in their shared love of implementation science. |
| Student Representative – Rachel Ouellette |  |
I am a third-year doctoral student in the Clinical Science Psychology program at Florida International University. My research interests are focused around workforce support strategies (e.g., professional learning communities and knowledge sharing platforms) for simultaneously improving effectiveness and burnout in non-specialty, community-based youth settings, including schools and after-school programs. I have relied on SIRC resources and conferences to expand my own knowledge and capacity as a student researcher and would be grateful for the opportunity to give back to SIRC towards the goal of supporting my fellow student members. |
