Articles and Publications

  • Many of the publications I have coauthored have discussed the mental and physical effects of trauma. Whether that be on the changes in cognitive processing due to traumatic experiences or the effects of experiencing multiple traumatic events on the ability to manage medical treatments for chronic illnesses.

What do you attribute your success to?

  • I attribute my success to being lucky enough to find a career that I genuinely enjoy. There is always so much to learn and so many ways to create change in the world. I feel blessed to wake up and do what I love every day. I also attribute my success to the many people who have supported my educational journey, from my family to my supervisors, to even my own therapist!
