My research combines developmental and health psychology and utilizes narratives, surveys, and institutional data to examine how people’s perspectives connect with their wellbeing across various contexts. I explore the development of diverse community college students, college students’ food insecurity, and young people’s self-regulation in response to social status comparisons. I seek to advance psychology’s understanding of how underrepresented people shape their development, even as they grapple with being socially and economically disadvantaged within the larger culture. Ultimately, I strive to empower people who are often seen as the disadvantaged and disregarded “other.”
