Academic Focus
My research utilizes community-based approaches to examine, through a developmental and ecological lens, the various psychosocial and cultural contexts that influence youth development and adjustment across multiple domains of life functioning including mental and physical health, emotion regulation, academic success, and interpersonal relationships, with an emphasis on minoritized populations. Specific areas of focus include cultural resilience, attachment, stigma, discrimination, violence exposure, and health disparities in minoritized communities.
