Research
I am a Graduate Research Assistant in the Human Development and Family Science department, working under the supervision of Dr.Elizabeth Wieling. My research interests are mainly focused on traumatic stress, war, and violence. Particularly, I seek to examine the transgenerational impact of traumatic stress on family interpersonal relationships. I aim to inform culturally adaptable evidence-based interventions that promote resilience to traumatic experiences within families and increase accessibility to mental health services for traumatised low-income family settings.
