Research

Research Interests

My research details the impact of discrimination against adolescents, with special attention toward marginalized populations nationwide. I also investigate civic engagement in adolescents and aim at understanding the consequences of specific action on subjective development.

Grants/Awards

I assisted the Domestic Preparedness Assistance Center in developing a grant that gave funding to local volunteer fire departments to bolster their recruitment and retention campaigns. I worked as Research and Development Coordinator, Media Coordinator, Grant Coordinator, Program Manager, and Direct Outreach Coordinator in my time working for the nonprofit.
