About me

My research interests center on cognitive processes underlying the development and maintenance of PTSD among veteran populations. Specifically, I am interested in how individuals interpret and make meaning of traumatic experiences, and how these interpretations shape risk for, or resilience against, post-traumatic stress symptoms. I hope to integrate positive psychology constructs into my pursuit of improving mental health interventions for underserved populations.
