I am a T32 postdoctoral research fellow within the Center for Adherence and Self-Management at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center under the mentorship of Dr. Lori Crosby and Dr. Avani Modi. Prior to starting fellowship, I earned my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Iowa and completed my clinical internship in child/pediatric psychology at Indiana University School of Medicine.
My research and clinical work focus on adherence and self-management in youth with chronic health conditions. I am particularly interested in understanding the influence of individual and community characteristics on adherence and self-management during important developmental transitions (e.g., from adolescence to early adulthood). My hope is that this work can help inform and promote equitable, evidence-based care for children living with chronic health conditions.
