I am a New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS) Predoctoral Fellow, funded through the NIH Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA). My research aims to identify risk factors for externalizing disorders through genetically informed research designs. My current projects utilize data from the FinnTwin cohorts, a population-based, longitudinal study of Finnish twins focused on the correlates and consequences of alcohol use from adolescence through early midlife. After completion of my PhD, I hope to inform prevention and intervention programs for substance abuse and criminality in adolescents.
