Dr. Causadias earned her EdD in Educational Leadership and Innovation from Arizona State University, where her dissertation, Uniquely Impacted: Trauma Support for Educators of Students with Developmental Disabilities in Response to the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, explored the unique challenges faced by educators during the pandemic and highlighted the need for systemic, educator-centered supports.

In 2026–2027, Dr. Causadias will serve as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar in Panama, where she will collaborate with educators and community partners to support inclusive and sustainable educational practices. Her work in Panama will focus on strengthening Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), educator training, family-school collaboration, and evidence-based interventions that support diverse learners across culturally and linguistically responsive settings.

Her work extends beyond trauma-informed practices to emphasize inclusive education, MTSS, disability advocacy, student advocacy, and systems change. Dr. Causadias is particularly passionate about bridging research and practice to support students with disabilities, multilingual learners, and historically underserved populations. She advocates for practical, evidence-based approaches that strengthen school-family partnerships, educator wellness, and equitable access to learning opportunities.

Dr. Causadias is deeply committed to preparing future educators and educational leaders who are equipped to foster inclusive, student-centered learning environments while driving meaningful systems change. Her work continues to focus on innovation in educator workforce sustainability, mental health, disability advocacy, and equitable educational practices both in the United States and internationally.
