Service
Service, to your immediate and broader community is important to me. I am passionate about academic service work, including reviewing articles, serving on committees with clear and genuine commitments to cultural change and improvement, and engaging with professional academic organizations. Relatedly, I am very passionate about mentoring and helping undergraduate students harness and pursue their passion for science and research.

- Psychology of Addictive Behaviors
- Infant Behavior and Development
- Journal of Maternal Child Health
- Journal of Child and Family Studies
- Child Psychiatry and Human Development
- International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction
- Adolescent Psychiatry
- Development and Psychopathology
- Parenting: Science and Practice
I have also reviewed grants and award submissions for:
- The Association for Psychological Science
- The American Psychological Association
- National Science Foundation
- University of Washington Addictions, Drug and Alcohol Institute (ADAI)
I am an active member of the following organizations:
- The Child Well-Being Research Network
- The Association for Psychological Science
- The American Psychological Association
- The Society for Research in Child Development
- The National Research Mentoring Network
- C-HOPE (Collective for Healing Opportunities and Parent Empowerment)
- American Association of University Professors (AAUP)
I have mentored students at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the University of Rochester, the University of Washington, and through APS' formal mentoring program. Students, especially those from historically excluded groups are more than welcome to email me with questions about psychology, research, academia, life, or just to chat!
Partnerships with Community-Based Organizations
Exciting news! My lab and I are committed to conducting rigorous, community and person-centered, and justice-oriented research that makes meaningful differences in children's and families' lives. To this end, we have begun some new and fruitful partnerships, both locally and nationwide.
Local partnerships with community-based organizations: LANGSTON (Central District, Seattle, WA).
Non-local partnerships with community-based organizations: Hispanic Community Counseling Services (Philadelphia, PA).
Stay tuned for updates on our current and future partnerships and translational research efforts.
