Research
More people in the United States identify as LGBTQ+ than ever before—according to recent Gallup polling, 7.2% of all U.S. adults and 19.7% of Generation Z identify as LGBTQ+. Yet by and large, the experiences of LGBTQ+ people are overlooked and underrepresented in the field of psychology. In my research, I examine both these underrepresented experiences and these limitations of the field, working to understand (1) how LGBTQ+ navigate their identities and challenges to their identities, especially in their relationships and (2) how to strengthen the diversity and inclusivity of psychological research. To learn more about my published work investigating these topics, you can check out the articles below.
