  Assistant Research Scientist

  Dr. Daly is a child psychologist with a research and clinical specialization in maltreatment trauma. Specifically, her research program has focused on the neural and socioemotional impacts of trauma exposure across the lifespan, and risk and resilience factors implicated in the intergenerational transmission of family violence. Through her treatment experiences, Dr. Daly has become passionate about child advocacy and institutional reform. She is particularly interested in research initiatives geared toward the identification of systemic problems and modification of existing operating procedures within systems responsible for child welfare (e.g., CPS, family courts, schools). She is incredibly excited to be contributing to FTRG’s work on this within the military, and to be working in implementation science generally. Dr. Daly received her PhD in Child Clinical Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University.
