Tatiana Londoño is a doctoral candidate at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work. Professionally, Tatiana worked in various settings such as schools and integrated primary care clinics providing services to mostly Spanish-speaking families who experienced migration-related trauma. As Tatiana observed the barriers of immigrants in these contexts, she realized her passion resided in working with these populations. Her research interests focus on how migration-related and sociocultural stressors affect the mental health and wellbeing of immigrant children and their families. Her long-term goal is to incorporate this research into brief preventative interventions accessible to immigrant populations and into policy briefs that can inform future immigration-related policy.
