Emotional Development and Resilience

I received an MA in developmental psychology from the University of Toronto in 2019 and a BA in psychology from McGill University in 2017. My current PhD research focuses on how familial and social adversity affect youth’s use and development of emotional skills such as emotion regulation, as well as the impact of these emotional skills on adjustment and functioning. Additionally, I am interested in health disparities; particularly how LGBTQ+ individuals’ social and emotional experiences during childhood and adolescence may impact concurrent and later mental health.
