I am a master’s student in the Psychological & Brain Sciences Department at Boston University. I earned a B.S. in Psychology from Howard University. After graduation, I worked as an ABA therapist for young children diagnosed with autism and as a therapeutic mentor for adolescents facing adversity. My research interests center on the impact of early-life adversity on children’s development, with a particular focus on neurodevelopmental outcomes, neurodevelopmental conditions (such as autism), and chronic illness.
