Director of the CREAR Lab

Andrea S. Medrano, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh

Director / Directora del Laboratorio CREAR

Dr. Medrano is a developmental psychologist committed to examining how youth and women exposed to violence make sense of, survive, and resist trauma in their daily lives. She is the Director of the CREAR Lab and Assistant Professor in the Developmental Psychology Program at the University of Pittsburgh, with an affiliation in Clinical Psychology. Her research focuses on poly-victimization, gender-based violence, and structural inequalities, emphasizing resilience processes such as familismo, hope, religiosity, and educational persistence. She leads international, community-engaged studies across Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and the U.S. using mixed methods to ensure that voices and data inform the lab's work.

Lab Staff

Kaitlyn Irizarry-Vega

Lab Coordinator

Kaitlyn Irizarry-Vega earned her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, with a minor in Philosophy of Mind and Language. Her research interests include understanding how resilience can be cultivated across development to promote well-being and motivation, particularly among youth in underserved communities. She is especially interested in identifying protective factors that buffer against adversity and promote positive personal and professional development. In the CREAR Lab, she is contributing to studies that investigate how traumas shape the identity formation and mental health of Puerto Rican college students. Kaitlyn plans to pursue a PhD in psychology to investigate resilience and well-being across both developmental and applied contexts. Outside of academia, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, distance running, and making pottery.

Geraldine Cisneros

Graduate Student Researcher

Geraldine Cisneros is a second-year Developmental Psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh, where she is a recipient of both the K. Leroy Irvis Fellowship and the LRDC Director’s Fellowship. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Harvard College, with a focus on Cognitive Neuroscience and Evolutionary Psychology and a minor in Social Anthropology. Following her undergraduate studies, Geraldine worked as a research associate and research specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center under the mentorship of Dr. Annie Cohen, where she conducted neuropsychological and cognitive research focused on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Her present research centers on understanding how sociocultural contexts shape youth and family experiences with psychopathology, particularly in relation to recognizing and responding to internalizing symptoms and help-seeking behaviors. She is especially interested in how cultural values, family dynamics, and structural factors influence the ways in which young people and caregivers interpret and respond to psychological distress. Her work often focuses on Mexican and Mexican American communities, with attention to how cultural identity and intergenerational experiences inform both risk and resilience processes. Through a developmental psychopathology and cultural psychology lens, she aims to examine how these processes unfold across adolescence, with a particular interest in early adolescence as a critical period for shaping mental health trajectories. She is also committed to applying a public health framework to her research, with the goal of informing the development of accessible, culturally responsive interventions and prevention efforts. She is motivated by a commitment to bridging research and community needs, ensuring that mental health resources and interventions are grounded in the lived experiences of the populations they are designed to serve.

Sydni Davila

Graduate Student Researcher

I am a second-year doctoral student in the Developmental Psychology program at the University of Pittsburgh. Additionally, I’m pursuing a Global Health certificate from the School of Public Health at Pitt. Before joining the lab, I received my Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences and Neuroscience as well as my Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University. Before joining CREAR Lab, I worked in Clinical and Social Psychology labs examining how childhood adversity manifests in communication and conflict behaviors for young adults in relationships. I joined the CREAR Lab in 2023 as a Hot Metal Bridge Post-Bacc Fellow where I began studying the link between household stressors, such as financial hardship and family conflict, and mental health outcomes with data collected in rural Mexico. My research has since shifted to focus more generally on traumatic experiences, event centrality, and protective factors for Latin Americans and across the Latinx diaspora. Additionally, I’m actively involved in mentoring through programs such as Hot Metal Bridge Post-Bacc Fellowship, Psychology Partnership for Undergraduate and Graduate Students (PUGS), and Women in Research. Outside of academia, I can be found spending time with my dog Murphy or my family. I also love to bake, experiment with new recipes, and watch my favorite shows on repeat.

Courtney Medina

Graduate Student Researcher

Courtney is a fourth-year Clinical-Developmental psychology PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh. She is co-mentored by Dr. Sophie Choukas-Bradley. She was awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in 2025.

Following graduation, she worked as a research project coordinator in UNC's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. Courtney's research examines how gendered and sexualized experiences impact adolescent and young adult mental health and development, with a particular emphasis on the impacts of sexual harassment, dating violence, and sexual objectification. She aims for her work to inform culturally grounded interventions for Latine victims of gendered and sexual violence. Outside of work, she enjoys trying new coffee shops and playing board games with her friends and family.

Patrick Quintero

Graduate Student Researcher

Patrick is a first-year doctoral student in the joint Clinical–Developmental Psychology PhD program at the University of Pittsburgh. His research investigates how trauma exposure influences developmental processes in Latino/a communities, with an emphasis on identifying risk and resilience factors that shape mental health, academic trajectories, and social development across Latin America and border regions between the United States and Mexico. Additionally, Patrick is dedicated to promoting mental health equity for Latino/a and other historically underrepresented communities through a strengths based framework that prioritizes culturally adapted interventions and equitable access to care.

Sofia Adame

She is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, with a B.S. in Psychology and Anthropology, a minor in Gender, Sexuality & Women’s Studies, and a Global Studies certificate. Her primary areas of interest surround contextual factors related to gender-based violence, particularly the role of institutional, cultural and colonial rhetorics that promote gender norms, help-seeking and reproductive resources. She is particularly interested in examining sexual violence and femicides experienced by Latin American women both in their home context and throughout the immigration journey. As a third culture Mexican immigrant, CREAR Lab provides a space to examine a wide array of these issues through extensive collaboration and community-based work. She believes in transforming “data” to reflect real experiences in the hopes of developing policies, interventions and education programs that are culturally relevant for directed communities.
