Curriculum Vitae

Research

My current research is conducted in the context of multicultural psychology, examining how microaggressions, prejudice, and discrimination impact substance use and mental health. Current studies are examining those relationships among college students of color, as well as collaborative research working American Indian and Alaska Native communities with other likeminded researchers. I also have experience in applied and clinically relevant etiological and intervention research with other populations at high risk for substance abuse such as college student drinkers, people with co-occurring mental disorders and cognitive dysfunction, military personnel, and incarcerated populations. If you would like to know more about my work, I invite you to review my CV.
