Work

In the past, I have worked for human service agencies with individuals with developmental disabilities. I find this job very rewarding and have learned so much from working there.

My current goals are to graduate with my Developmental Psychology PhD and, after Post-Doc, I would like to continue my research, specializing in and researching the development of psychopathology in children with and without mental retardation, including the assessment, prevention and treatment of psychopathology in and out of school.

My academic career has been focused on a general overview of most areas of psychology -- a field interested in affect (emotion), behavior, and cognition (thinking). In my first year at Yale graduate school, I focused my interests in developmental disabilities, psychopathology, and education.

My specific interests are in the development and of psychopathology and cognitive abilities and disabilites. I am very interested in developing programs for children with mental health issues within the context of the school. I am also interested in dual diagnosis (psychopathology and mental retardation) and assessment.
