Research Overview
My research passion lies in applying ecological frameworks to study emotional and positive development within families across sociocultural contexts, with the goal of reducing psychopathological risks and fostering resilience in children. Currently, I am studying emotion socialization in early childhood within family systems and how it is shaped by broader ecological contexts. Outside of research, I enjoy cuddling with my two cats, Fufu and Bobo, and discovering great local restaurants—Cats heal the world, and food is power!
