Jessica is a clinical psychology doctoral student at Wayne State University under Dr. Chris Trentacosta. Jessica trained to administer the Bayley Scales of Infant Development for the age 3-year lab visits of the Brain Development Study and has since led 3-year and 5-year lab visits remotely.
About Jessica’s Research
My research interests include:
1. The development of self-regulation in young children.
2. Ways in which parenting practices contribute to the development of emotion competence.
3. Neural correlates of early behavior problems.
Clinically, I am interested in using an Infant Mental Health approach to promote health and resilience in at-risk children and families.
