Assistant Professor, Clinical Program I am an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Georgia and the director of the FUERTE lab. I earned my PhD in clinical psychology with a child emphasis from the University of Denver, did an APA-accredited internship in the child track at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and completed an NIMH-funded T32 postdoctoral fellowship in traumatic stress at the Medical University of South Carolina. Broadly, my research is focused on understanding the mechanisms that contribute to, maintain and/or exacerbate mental health disparities in Latino/a youth and families. I plan to review applications for Fall 2026 admission to the clinical psychology program.
