About the author:

The aim of my research is to understand “what works when and for whom,” by developing and using increasingly personalized methods to study adolescent behavior. My core research interests involve understanding biological and cognitive development in adolescence, its correlates, and the implications of its development for different populations, especially as related to positive development.

What I want to achieve:

I hope that my research will provide a better understanding of adolescents’ lived experiences and contribute to strengths-based approaches that better support young people and empower them to make positive changes in their lives and communities.
