My name is Charli and I am currently a fourth-year doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology Program at the University of Houston. I was raised in the Metro Atlanta area and stayed there through the completion of my bachelor’s degree in 2007. After earning a bachelor’s in Economics from Spelman College, I moved to Houston, TX to begin a career as an Oil and Gas Financial Analyst. After 7 years, my passion for helping others led me to make a career change to become a Psychologist. My areas of focus revolve around improving the lives of those who are exposed to higher occurrences of socioenvironental stress making them more vulnerable to negative health outcomes (i.e. substance abuse). I am particularly interested in exploring health behaviors of LGBT+ and African-American adults. Some of my previous research includes collecting data for the Project Stress and Health and FRESH AIR (Focused Research to Enhance Social Health Among Individuals in the Rainbow) at the University of Houston. Using data collected in those studies, I was able to conduct research that I later presented at professional conferences. In 2015 and 2016, I presented “Social Norms and Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in African-American Adults by Sex and Income Status” and “Characteristics associated with BMI change trajectories among African American adults receiving minimal health promotion guidance” in the American Academy of Health Behaviors. In 2017, I presented “Religiosity as a potential moderator for smoking dependence among sexual minorities” at the National Multicultural Conference and Summit.
