My program of research has primarily focused on social justice issues and vocational psychology. I’m currently exploring the contextual and systemic factors impacting marginalized undergraduate students’ postgraduate school application self-efficacy. I hope to understand how social class, race/ethnicity, first-generation status, and other contextual factors impact students’ access to resources, beliefs in their ability to succeed at different tasks within the postgraduate application process, and their application behaviors. I’m also interested in exploring the effectiveness of trauma-focused treatment interventions.
