About
I was born and raised in Mexico and moved to the U.S. to go to graduate school at Penn State Univeristy where I obtained a Ph D in Human Development and Family Studies. After I finished graduate school, I moved to the lovely town of Wilmington, N.C. where I teach and conduct research in the Psychology Department at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. I have always been very interested in understanding how people change as they grow older, especially during adolescence. A time of many changes! Because I grew up outside of the U.S., I am also very interested in understanding how culture shapes sexuality and relationships in adolescence.
