Research Interests

I am interested in understanding the impact of life transitions on individual differences in well-being. I hope to investigate how various stressors interact to contribute to psychological functioning across the developmental trajectory. In addition, I hope to implement and evaluate interventions to prevent psychopathology and promote well-being in adolescence and emerging adulthood.
