Curriculum Vitae (December 2024)
My research focuses on contextual factors associated with developmental processes, with particular emphasis on cognitive processes in typically developing infants and children, infants and children with Down syndrome, and university students. My most recent work focuses on associations between memory and well-being in parents of children who have Down syndrome and transgender adults. Studies conducted in the lab commonly include behavioral and questionnaire measures along with quantitative or qualitative analyses with the goal of identifying modifiable factors that positively contribute to individual functioning.
For additional information about ongoing studies, please visit the UCI INCHES Lab website (an acronym for my lab’s collective goal of Understanding Contextual Influences on Infants and Children).
