Research Interests:

My research focuses on how aspects of racial identity influence comprehensive psychosocial adjustment and key mental health outcomes of minority youth.  Particularly among African-American adolescents and emerging adults, I seek to understand how racial identity, salience, and attitudes are associated with adjustment within diverse contexts.  A recent emphasis has centered on the role of racial identity in negotiating everyday experiences of subtle racism and discrimination.   

Another research interests involves the application of person-centered research methodologies to examining developmental process and adjustment.  A central aim of this interest is to recognize within-group heterogeneity inherent among specific population groups, particularly those that historically have been viewed as homogenous.  With regards to the known health disparities among minority populations, the overarching objective of this work is to inform prevention and intervention strategies that are increasingly tailored to the individuals who are significantly more vulnerable to negative health outcomes.
