Ph.D. candidate - Clinical Psychology
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University Bloomington
I am a Clinical Psychology PhD Candidate at Indiana University Bloomington. My current research projects focus on prescribed opioid medications, both for management of pain and treatment of opioid use disorder. I am particularly interested in studying the safety of these medications during pregnancy, including consequences for child development, such as risk for adverse birth outcomes and neurodevelopmental disorders. My work utilizes large datasets and epidemiologic methods to help disentangle effects of opioid medications from effects of other factors that may be associated with adverse outcomes, including genetic and environmental factors, and indication for prescription opioid use.
