Hi! I’m Emma, a recent University of Pittsburgh graduate with a B.S. in Psychology and Sociology, aspiring to pursue a PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology. I am currently working as a Research Project Coordinator in the Kleiman Lab at Rutgers University. My research interests broadly focus on understanding and addressing the structural and individual dynamics affecting mental health outcomes and stigma in racial and ethnic minoritized communities. Specifically, I am interested in the development of unique coping mechanisms and behaviors in response to race-based traumatic stress. In my free time, I enjoy dog-sitting, baking, and playing Minecraft bed wars!
