Patrick Quintero

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.
