About Me
I received my Ph.D. in Health Psychology at the University of California, Merced. Currently, I am a second-year postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Francisco in the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education (CTCRE). My research centers around understanding health risk behavior, particularly tobacco and cannabis use, within youth and young adult populations.
