She frequently shares her insights on platforms such as Oprah, The Today Show, GMA, and CNN, addressing the complexity of bullying and suggesting realistic solutions.

While delivering keynote speeches, Dr. Espelage discusses her empirical research into the endemic issue of bullying in contemporary schools.

Dr. Espelage's expertise has been invaluable in helping numerous schools across the country establish anti-bullying programs tailored to their needs. Her workshops assist faculty members in incorporating new bully-prevention techniques into their existing routines with minimal stress. In 2011, she was invited to the White House as part of the Bullying Summit, where she discussed policy decisions related to aggression in schools.

Besides her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr. Espelage holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Radford University and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Indiana University.
