OUR RESEARCH TEAM
Bridget E. Hatfield, Ph.D.
Welcome to my research lab! I am an Assistant Professor in Human Development and Family Sciences (HDFS) in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University. I joined the OSU faculty in August 2013 after completing an Institute of Education Sciences postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Virginia's Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning. The majority of my work focuses on teacher-child interactions in early care and education settings. However, I also focus on the importance of parent-child interactions. The goal of this research is to identify specific strategies that parents and teachers employ to support adaptive emotion regulation and activity in the stress response system for young children.
If you are interested in learning more about our graduate program in HDFS, please contact me at bridget.hatfield@oregonstate.edu.

Adrienne Henry, B.A.
Hello! My name is Jess Henry. I am a graduate student currently pursuing a MS/PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences at Oregon State University, and on the PhD track. I returned to school after many years as a preschool and toddler classroom teacher and parent educator. My professional interests focus around children from birth to 3, and their caregivers. Specifically my research interests center on the experience of the caregiver, and how this may impact classroom quality and teacher-child relationships. My current funded research seeks to understand the possible effects of caregiver health and well-being on classroom quality. My additional professional interests include facilitating the translation of research findings between researchers and community members in order to promote positive change for children and families. I am excited to be a part of the SEARCH Research Lab!

Kelly Hoke, B.S.
Hi! My name is Kelly Hoke, and I am currently a student in the MS/PhD Human Development and Family Studies program at Oregon State University. I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology from Lenoir-Rhyne University in North Carolina. I bring with me a background in non-formal education, natural resource management, and professional development in the field of environmental education. My previous career and personal experiences have shaped my research interests focused on nature-based play and authentic learning as it relates to physiological responses in childhood.

I am so glad you are visiting our SEARCH team page! My name is Hillary Lewis, and I am currently on
the PhD track in Human Development and Family Studies at Oregon State University. I have a Master’s
degree in Counseling & Development (Texas Woman’s University), as well as a Master’s of Arts in
Teaching (also TWU). In my “previous life” I was an elementary school teacher, and have a heart for
education. These experiences have shaped my research interests which include a trauma-informed
approach to teaching, emotional intelligence and empathy development, as well as teacher-child
relationships and family-teacher partnerships, and their associations with learning and student
engagement.
