Welcome!

I am an applied developmental psychologist from Hanoi, Vietnam, and a Ph.D. student in Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Development at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education.

With a background in developmental psychology and education, I am dedicated to promoting the development of children and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. My research examines the long-term consequences of early childhood adversities on human development and explores protective processes that foster resilience in children and adolescents across global contexts. I aim to use research findings to create contextually relevant intervention programs, inform policies, and develop reliable resources that support children and their families.

My work has been published in Developmental Psychology, American Journal of Psychiatry, and International Journal of Early Childhood.
