Biography —
My research interests focus on examining the influence and interplay of risk and resilience factors, including cultural and familial (e.g., parent-child interactions) factors, on youth internalizing concerns, service use, and treatment response. I focus on studying minority youth in the U.S., particularly Latinx youth. Combined in an aim to improve accessibility and quality of care in diverse populations and low-resource settings, I hope to utilize community mental health practices that build on the strengths, respond to the needs, and respect the restraints of service centers.
