Sarah Rocha is a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Neurodevelopment Affect and Psychopathology (SNAP) Lab, where she studies how stress and socioeconomic hardship shape mental and physical well-being longitudinally from childhood to young adulthood. She received her PhD in Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles and her Bachelor’s in Biological Basis of Behavior at the University of Pennsylvania. Sarah utilizes longitudinal modeling techniques to examine the relations between adverse exposures in childhood (e.g., poverty, stress, pollution) and changes in health biomarkers and risk for psychopathology across development. As a New Map of Life fellow, Sarah aims to identify modifiable targets for intervention that prevent against early adult health risk and promote well-being.
