I am a Senior Clinical Research Scientist at Verily Life Sciences in digital biomarkers.

Previously, I worked as a Clinical Research Scientist at Meru Health where I researched how we can use high quality, real-world, and ethical research to guide the refinement and scalability of evidence-based digital mental health interventions in order to lower barriers to care and provide more equitable treatment.

I received my Ph.D from the University of Oregon where I worked in The Center for Digital Mental Health and the Adolescent Development and Psychopathology Team (ADAPT) Lab. I completed my Psychology Residency at the University of Washington Medical School in Behavioral Medicine in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. I completed my postdoctoral position at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where I worked on the Wifi Initiative to study digital health using wearable and smartphone devices to identify and monitor the emergence and co-occurrence of psychopathology and physical health disorders across adolescence.

Broadly, I study how close relationships modify the physiological mechanistic pathways between psychopathology and subsequent intermediate physical health outcomes (i.e., cardiac psychophysiology, inflammation, cortisol, and telomere length). In addition, I utilize mobile, wearable, and smart home technologies in order to quantify digital phenotypes by continuously indexing, in real-time, individual-level data in an unobtrusive and ecologically valid manner.
