Graduate Student in Clinical Psychology Daylin Delgado is a first-generation Cuban-American woman from Miami Gardens, Florida. She double-majored in Psychology and Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. While at Amherst, Daylin discovered her love for research, particularly in adolescent mental health, while working with Dr. Julia McQuade in the Peer Relationships Lab. After graduation in May 2022, Daylin worked for two years as a clinical research assistant on the Autistic Adults and other Stakeholders Engage Together - Suicide Prevention (AASET-SP) project at the UNC TEACCH Autism Program in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Her primary research project focused on adapted interventions for addressing suicidality in autistic youth and young adults. In this role, Daylin gained invaluable experience in community-partnered research and clinical trials, and what it means to involve the communities we wish to help in the research process from start to finish. In the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia, Daylin hopes to continue to improve and expand her research skills, and address the issues of mental health disparities in adolescents from underrepresented and underserved communities.
