Research Interests

I am a developmental psychopathologist and interested in understanding the role of interpersonal relationships (family, peer, sibling, romantic) in the development of externalizing behavior problems during adolescence and young adulthood. In addition, I am involved in various projects focusing on enhancing methodology and statistics as they are relevant to developmental psychopathology.
