Eva joined the ISPRC in the fall of 2012 as a graduate research assistant and serves as a Jeremiah Burke High School advocate. Her research interests include racial, gender and sexual orientation identity development, with a focus on multiracial identity, and the factors that foster resiliency amongst at-risk populations.
