Research Interests

Guadalupe’s research interests are broadly focused on understanding and improving the individual and ecological factors (e.g. parenting) that influence the school readiness and educational experiences of children and families from diverse backgrounds--specifically, in children and families from ethnically-diverse backgrounds and children who are English Language Learners. She focuses on the influence of self-regulation, English Language proficiency, and parenting on children’s educational experiences and connecting research to community-based programs to improve the educational experiences of children and their parents.

​Biography

Guadalupe received her M.S and Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Sciences at Oregon State University with emphasis on early childhood development and children’s educational experiences. She focused on understanding the influence of factors such as English language proficiency on children’s educational experiences. She completed her Ph.D. dissertation titled “The Influence of Family Demographics and Individual Factors on School Readiness: A Focus on Low-Income Spanish-speaking English Language Learners” in 2016.
