Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Psychology, University of Southern California – Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
I am currently a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research fellow in the University of Southern California Department of Psychology. I received my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles.
In my research, I investigate how adolescents' interpersonal relationships contribute to their social and emotional adjustment. A central goal of my work is to understand how adolescents' school, family, and online environments influence their interactions with peers and corresponding mental and physical health.
