As an assistant professor of Human Services and social justice-focused researcher, I create platforms to amplify voices of individuals from under-represented communities. Through my HUSR Students of Color Research Lab, I examine the unique mental health needs of students of color in college. With a primary focus on abnormal psychology, attachment styles and cognitive schema therapy, I investigate 1) the fit of current mental health assessment measures for people of color, 2) how relationship satisfaction impacts retention and persistence through graduation for students of color, and 3) how to proactively construct support services grounded in the voices of marginalized people.
