Bio

I dream of making a positive impact on the lives of youth living with mental health challenges through research and clinical service in the field of psychology. My research interests are to identify underlying biological, cognitive, and social factors that contribute to psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsion, and autism spectrum.
