Bio:

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. My research program focuses on identity development across various domains and on the links between identity and psychosocial functioning. Although I study identity development broadly, the majority of my research has focused on cultural identity, particularly among Hispanic/Latinx youth.
