Research Interest
My research broadly focuses on the psychological well-being of individuals with marginalized identities including racial/ethnic minorities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people. I use intersectional theory to explore the experiences of marginalized communities across race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. I am equally passionate about social justice ally work. In this avenue, I develop and study the efficacy of interventions designed to reduce prejudice and build social justice allies in privileged communities
