I am a fifth-year clinical psychology PhD candidate working with Dr. James Li. My research interests include:

  1. The structure of psychopathology, with a focus on externalizing behaviors and traits (e.g., antisocial behavior, substance use, impulsivity) as defined in the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) framework.
  2. How externalizing develops across the lifespan, with an emphasis on childhood and adolescence.
  3. Interplay between genes and environment on developmental trajectories of externalizing.

Clinically, I am interested in psychological and forensic assessments and improving behavioral health outcomes for youth in the juvenile legal system.
