About
I am trained as a developmental psychologist. My primary research focus is adolescent health. I am particularly interested in improving health outcomes for vulnerable youth. My work includes the development, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of youth health interventions. I am currently conducting research on cancer prevention in medically underserved populations, healthy relationship development, mindfulness and health, and community and school-based interventions.
