Interests: Adolescent development; effects of stress on academic achievement and mental health; parent-child relationships; challenges faced by individuals from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds, especially refugees and immigrants.
My research interests include investigating the effects of early life events on adolescents’ socioemotional, psychobiological, and cognitive development. I am also curious about the role of stress in development and how early stress exposure might influence educational trajectories. I am passionate about working with adolescents from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.
