Introduction
I'm a 5th year in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Arizona State University and recipient of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship.
My research aims to understand how cultural, social, and individual processes intersect with each other to shape self-regulation among ethnic minority youth. More recently, I've extended my research to further understand the cognitive processes underlying self-regulatory behaviors and their associated links w/ culture.

E-cigarette use among adolescents is a national health epidemic spreading faster than researchers can amass evidence for risk and protective factors and long-term consequences associated with use. New technologies, such as machine learning, may assist prevention programs in identifying at risk youth and potential targets for intervention before ado...

The current study extends the literature by evaluating a culturally nuanced pathway of substance use among Latinx adults by testing associations between individual cultur...

Questions concerning the bilingual advantage in children have become a critical focus in the broader debate about bilingual language status and its relation to executive fu...
Complex social behaviors are governed by a neural network theorized to be the social decision-making network (SDMN). However, this theoretical network is not tested on functional grounds. Here, we assess the organization of regions in the SDMN using c-Fos, to generate functional connectivity models during specific social interactions in a socially...
Background: Youth who are victimized by violence are at heightened risk for substance use (SU) during adolescence, a period characterized by elevated impulsivity and risk-taking behavior. This risk may be magnified by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Objective: To examine risk/protective factors for adolescent SU among adolescents a...
Behavior disorders are the leading cause of psychological problems affecting young children and adolescents. Behavioral parent training (BPT) programs have been developed to address child behavioral disturbances by supporting caregivers’ skills in shaping their children's behaviors. BPT interventions are packaged in a variety of ways but maintain i...
