I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive academically, personally, and professionally. My work focuses on relational processes across individual and family development, particularly within diverse contexts such as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, and religion.

Passionate about promoting community health at both FSU and in Tallahassee, I am committed to addressing mental health issues and enhancing relational well-being. I engage in disseminating research and clinical activities of the Human Development and Family Science Department through active involvement in the university and community.
