My research interests broadly involve studying reactions to trauma. More recently, clinical experiences have informed a more specific research interest regarding the relationship between trauma, PTSD and OCD. I am particularly interested in using mixed methods to evaluate questions related to trauma and functioning in treatment-seeking individuals.

I am a third-year student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at Suffolk University in the Youth Development in Context Lab. I am originally from Seattle, WA, where I pursued my B.A. in Medical Anthropology and Global Health at the University of Washington. After completing my undergraduate degree, I was an AmeriCorps service member for Communities In Schools of Kent. I was placed at a Title-1 middle school for a year and was subsequently hired on as full-time staff for three years. My responsibilities ranged from case management and behavioral interventions to school wide program implementation. My experience at CIS further engrained my dedication for working with youth and serving under resourced and marginalized communities. Mental health emerged as a key common thread for the youth and families I worked with, which in turn prompted my interest in pursuing a clinical psychology doctoral program. I have completed my first clinical training placement at Suffolk University’s Counseling Center where I developed foundational skills in individual therapy with undergraduate and graduate students. My second and current clinical practicum placement is at Brown University, Bradley Hospital Adolescent Inpatient Unit. I have recently completed my Master’s thesis and am now working towards publication. This project utilized a person-centered lens to explore how ethnic-racial identity, coping, and mindfulness factors differentiate students into meaningful profiles of adjustment amongst a diverse population of incoming college freshman. I am beginning to develop my plan for dissertation and am involved in a number of research projects in the lab relating to youth, emerging adult, and adult immigration experiences.
