Loneliness and desire for thinness explain sex differences in adolescent internalizing problems.

Published in Nature Human Behaviour, 2026

A longitudinal study of 3,171 Tokyo adolescents, co-designed with the Bridging Divides Young Persons Advisory Group, found that by age 16, female participants had roughly twice the prevalence of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation as male participants. Loneliness and a reported desire to be thin, measured at age 14, were estimated to account for about a third to nearly half of that gap in effect terms, suggesting these social factors as potential targets for interventions informed by young people.

“we need a r/evolution”: Transformational Resistance as a Framework in Advancing ADEI in Social Work Education

Published in Abolitionist Perspectives in Social Work, 2026

This paper uses counter-narrative autoethnography to explore how social work educators can cultivate ‘transformational resistance’ in the classroom amid current political attacks on ADEI. My section discusses Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha ‘Crip Emotional Intelligence,’ and how I understand disabled epistemologies as a pedagogy of collective care and transofrmative possibility.

Police Violence Exposure Among Young Adults in a US National Probability Sample

Published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2026

Using a national probability sample of 1,077 U.S. young adults, this study finds that young people’s exposure to police violence is notable (14.9% overall) and significantly more prevalent among non-Latine Black respondents across all four measured sub-types (physical, sexual, psychological, neglectful). This study is the first to document these disparities using nationally representative data, rather than nonprobability samples limited to select cities.

Deconstructing Latinx racial paradigms : cross-cultural constructions of race and their impact on Dominican-American constructions of race and their impact on Dominican-American racial identity

Published in Smith College School for Social Work, 2016

A masters thesis and qualitative study examining how Dominican immigrants to the U.S. navigated shifting constructions of race from the D.R. to the U.S.; specifically, from constructions rooted in Spanish colonialism and entrenched anti-Blackness/anti-Haitianism, to constructions shaped by Black-American experience and U.S. racial history. Participants discussed being differently categorized, navigating the racial landscape of the U.S. and its differences from that of the D.R., and the impacts of both on mental health, challenging treatments of Latine identity as a singular, monolithic category. Recipient of the Smith College Alumni Association Thesis Award for Students of Color.
