Hi, I'm Keira.

I received my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development in 2022. My research interests include stress biology, adolescence, antiracism, critical consciousness, racial identity development, and racial socialization. My primary research focus is on antiracism development for white youth and how stress biology may serve as both a barrier to and a motivator for engagement. I am passionate about working with undergraduate students and community partners across both research and teaching settings.
