Dr. Weaver is highly skilled in transdisciplinary teaching, research, and practice and has been actively engaged in the public health response to the covid-19 pandemic.

Dr. Weaver has a keen interest in helping parents and children develop skills for emotional health and wellness and working with schools and agencies to nurture the growth and development of all kids. She consults in the areas of messaging, community and team engagement, teacher training, strategic planning, and program design and evaluation. Using a systems lens and applied improvisation, her work emphasizes the importance of strength-based approaches, empathy, and deep understanding across people and sectors.
