Advisor: Nancy Hamilton, PhD

Research Lab: Hamilton Health Lab

I am interested in social determinants of health and passionate about addressing health disparities, particularly pertaining to access to mental health care in Latinx immigrants and other underserved communities. As part of the Health Track curriculum, I have also been able to gain clinical experience in a variety of medical environments and participate in outreach opportunities to bring psychological services to rural communities in Kansas. I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds and also serving as a mentor to other students in the field.
