Research Area:
I am a sixth-year student in the Clinical Science program. My research focus is to identify brain structures and functional networks that underlie a link between early life stress and psychopathology. I have utilized hierarchical modeling to explore dimensional structures of stressors and applied structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, and longitudinal mediation analysis to investigate their relationship with structural and functional characteristics of the brain and dimensions of psychopathology. I am further interested in identifying the role of subjective interpretation of stressful evetns in shaping the brain developmnet as well as the emergence of psychopathology. I am currently completing my pre-doctoral internship at Royal Oaks Hospital in Windsor, Missouri. My clinical work involves working with underserved youth populations in rural areas and providing trauma-informed and trauma-focused care.
