Research Interests


I work on health policy and intervention informing research that strives to better understand the unique mental health challenges and needs of marginalized communities, particularly for marginalized youth and young adult populations such as orphaned and separated children, immigrant/refugee youth, youth of color, and LGBTQ youth and young adults in low- and middle- resource contexts.
