Jennifer is a fourth-year Psychology major. She is a research assistant for Dr. Anna Lau’s Culture and Minority Mental Health Lab, where her research experience centers on minority mental health. From assisting on a project examining the collaborative relationship between community therapists and Latinx parents of children treated with evidence-based practices, Jennifer has diverse experience ranging from comprehensive literature reviews to observational coding of therapy sessions. Last year, she completed an independent project about the relationship between stressful life events and emotional/behavioral functioning in low-income Asian-American and Latinx youth through the competitive Psychology Research Opportunity Program. Currently, with support from the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, Jennifer conducts another independent project on the potential benefits of racial/ethnic match and therapist acculturation for treatment engagement of Latinx families served in Los Angeles County. As a first-generation Latina college student and young researcher, her long-term goal is to enter a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology where she can conduct interdisciplinary research to examine how practitioners can leverage culture to mitigate youth mental health problems.
