Current Research Summary:

My research interests include analyzing pediatric and adolescent brain development and how it relates to functional and behavioral lifespan development. I have interest in if environmental, demographic, or genetic factors could modulate these developmental processes. I am also interested in preventative care in pediatric populations, especially minority Spanish-speaking populations, and the success of interventions on long-term health outcomes.
