Research & Clinical Interests: I currently hold a broad interest in Pediatric Psychology and am very interested in variables that affect the child’s coping, adjustment, and management of a chronic condition, such as the transactional nature of systems (family, school, peers, etc.) and impacting factors of culturally and ethnically diverse populations. Specifically, I am interested in how systems, such as the school environment, can provide additional support for a child. As a member of SPP and the student board, I am excited at the opportunities made available for professional growth. Similarly, I would like to extend such opportunities to graduate students of SPP through collaboration and dialogue.
