As Co-Principal Investigator, I led a correlational, longitudinal study investigating the disparate impacts of COVID-19 on diverse psychology graduate student populations. This trauma-informed research examined how pandemic-related stressors affected mental health outcomes across different demographic groups, contributing to understanding of systemic vulnerabilities during crisis periods. The study employed rigorous research methodology to capture both immediate and longer-term effects of pandemic disruption on academic and personal well-being.

The research resulted in multiple presentations at professional conferences including the New Jersey Psychological Association Fall 2020 Conference, Rutgers University 'Brown Bag' sessions, and the American Psychological Association's 129th Annual Convention. This work demonstrates my ability to design and execute research that addresses critical social issues while maintaining methodological rigor and ethical standards for vulnerable populations. The study's focus on equity and disparate impacts aligns with broader themes in my work around ensuring technology and policy changes don't disproportionately harm vulnerable groups.

Key outcomes: Co-led longitudinal research on pandemic impacts, presented findings at multiple professional conferences, contributed to understanding of systemic vulnerabilities in academic settings.
