Trinity is a first-year doctoral student in the Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Science program at the Institute of Child Development. Her research aims to eliminate racial disparities in mental health and minimize adverse outcomes associated with race-related stressors such as discrimination. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Trinity's work investigates these relationships with social psychology, developmental psychology, and media analysis. Specifically, her work examines the influence of racialized stress on emotion regulation processes and mechanisms that buffer negative psychological outcomes.
