Paulina graduated Loma Linda University with a PhD in clinical psychology. She has experience working with families and children with developmental disabilities, co-morbid medical and mental health disorders, brief behavior intervention, as well as experience in assessing various neuro-diverse pediatric populations. Both her clinical and research interests broadly include pediatric neuropsychology, with particular interest in brain behavior relationships, and the consequential trajectory of cognitive and behavioral functioning following hematologic/oncologic brain insult. Additionally, she is interested in the implications of inadequate sleep on cognition and emotion regulation within pediatric populations.
