Mentoring PhD students is my favorite part of my job. Proud to support the next generation of transition scholars. Here we are at @DCDT_CEC in Reno, Nevada! @HumbertoPenJ @DrS_Shikarpurya @HeatherDulas & Luis!
New pub alert! My incredible former advisor and colleague @CarlyBGils and I used mixed methods to examine the strengths leveraged by South Asian parents to navigate systemic adversities in transition to adulthood. A proud and #mesearch moment. doi.org/10.1177/216514…
