My research focuses on how low-income Latino parents support their young children²ÝÝ®´«Ã½™s socioemotional development, particularly emotional and behavioral regulation, through everyday parent-child interactions. I am also interested in identifying protective factors among Latino families that can be used to promote family well-being.
I am currently a third-year doctoral student in the Human Development program. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from New York University and my Master of Arts in Human Development from Teachers College, Columbia University. Through my previous work as a research assistant at NYU's Center for Research on Culture, Development, and Education and as a research coordinator at NYU Langone Health, I became interested in the role that culture plays in shaping children²ÝÝ®´«Ã½™s early experiences. My research interests include how Latino immigrant parents promote their young children²ÝÝ®´«Ã½™s socioemotional development through everyday activities, as well as how parents²ÝÝ®´«Ã½™ documentation status affects parent-child interactions.
