Biography
My research focuses on the relationships between childhood trauma and developmental psychopathology, particularly how early experiences shape mental health outcomes in children ages 3-7. I love working with the children that come in for visits, their unique perspectives make every day in the lab interesting, and it’s so important to understand how their early experiences shape who they become. Plus, figuring out how to support them through challenges is something I am very passionate about!
What you enjoy doing outside of research: Outside of research, I enjoy running, hiking, and watching movies with my dog, Bentley!
