Biografía Personal

Bridget Poznanski, B.S. es estudiante de Ciencias Clínicas en el programa Ph.D. en la Universidad Internacional de Florida. Bridget completó una licenciatura en psicología en la Universidad de Fordham. Antes de FIU, Bridget era asistente de investigación para Joshua L. Brown, Ph.D. en la Universidad de Fordham y una consejera conductual en el Programa de Verano para Niños (SPK) de la Universidad de Nueva York para niños con trastornos de conducta disruptivos. También trabajó como coordinadora del programa para el Centro de Ansiedad Juvenil (YAC) del Hospital Presbiteriano de Nueva York en la Clínica de Ansiedad y Trastornos Relacionados de la Universidad de Columbia (CUCARD) bajo la tutoría de Anne Marie Albano, Ph.D.

Los intereses de investigación de Bridget se centran ampliamente en la entrega de intervenciones basadas en evidencia para niños pequeños con problemas de comportamiento de externalización e internalización, especialmente en el contexto de la transición de la escuela y el jardín de infantes. Más específicamente, Bridget está interesada en (1) capacitar a los maestros para aumentar su conocimiento y uso de las prácticas de manejo del comportamiento basadas en la evidencia en el aula, (2) la difusión de estrategias de manejo del comportamiento basadas en la evidencia en las aulas de educación temprana, (3 ) preparar a los niños en riesgo de problemas de conducta, y a sus familias, para la transición al jardín de infantes, especialmente en entornos comunitarios de escasos recursos, y (4) comprender los comportamientos de los padres en relación con la trayectoria de los problemas de ansiedad infantil.
