She completed a PhD in 2010 using this data to investigate the environmental determinants of sibling similarities and differences in delinquency and drug use. During her doctoral work Denise had opportunities to tutor and lecture in social research and work on various research projects. Denise has returned to the Institute to work on a number of projects, including the Learning Catalysts project.
