I am a second-year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program. I am a graduate research assistant for Dr. Meghan Marsac's PATH lab, where my research is centered on predictors of pediatric medical traumatic stress in the context of acute or chronic medical conditions. I have previous research experience investigating substance use disorders as well as suicidality, specifically within the unhoused and military populations.
