Our team values diversity in all its forms and brings together different but complementary perspectives, including lived and living experience, to guide our work. As a first-generation college graduate, I’m proud to lead a team where many members also identify as first-gen and come from backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in research. We are committed to fostering a supportive, collaborative environment where students are mentored, empowered, and encouraged to grow as researchers and professionals. Together, we aim to inform prevention and intervention efforts that support people affected by substance use and mental health challenges.
