Research and Teaching Interests
Broadly, my research focuses on how internalizing and resisting oppressive social and cultural messages shape mental health. Specifically, I examine the role of colonial mentality in depression, anxiety, and well-being. I also explore factors that promote resilience among marginalized communities. I do not have a research team, but I enjoy working with honors and thesis students on these topics.
