Research Description/Bio: Grace's research interests broadly lie at the intersection of culture, positive psychology, and health disparities. Specifically, her work focuses on uncovering the pathways to resilience and post-traumatic growth and investigating psychosocial resources from a cultural lens. Additionally, she is interested in examining the effects of culturally-based psychological processes on individuals' health behaviors and outcomes. Grace aims to develop culturally-appropriate psychosocial interventions that enhance well-being in marginalized populations and improve health outcomes across the cancer continuum for medically-underserved communities.
