Areas of Specialization

Research interests include legal decision-making, mindfulness, multicultural issues (especially those that impact the LGBTQ+ community), and best practices in graduate clinical training. I am a quantitative researcher who enjoys using innovative methodologies to investigate those topics in new and intersectional ways.
