Areas of Research
I am a developmental psychologist who studies social and emotional well-being from childhood to young adulthood. I take a positive psychology approach to my work and an assets-approach to understanding human development.
Current work focuses on examining how children understand their social and emotional strengths, and how those strengths work in individualistic versus collectivist settings.
