She worked as a Research Assistant and Project Coordinator for the lab before entering the Health Psychology and Clinical Science Doctoral program at The Graduate Center, in Fall 2018. Kendell continues to work as a Graduate Research Assistant on couples-related projects under the mentorship of Dr. Tyrel Starks.
Kendell’s research interests focus on coping processes among patients coping with mental and physical health concerns. More specifically, she is interested in how maladaptive forms of coping and other health risk behaviors impact disease trajectory and overall health outcomes. In addition, she is interested in how interpersonal relationships impact coping processes and health behavior. Through research, she aims to develop and disseminate interventions that promote healthy coping strategies for individuals and family members affected by chronic illness.
