Daniel Labrousse, B.A.
Graduate Student
Daniel joined the TAYA Lab in the fall of 2023 as a joint Ph.D. student in Clinical and Developmental Psychology and K. Leroy Irvis Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh. Daniel is primarily interested in studying sociocultural factors, mental health, and the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality.
Daniel graduated from the University of Chicago with a B.A. in Psychology with Honors in 2020. While in Chicago, Daniel worked with Dr. Alex Shaw in the Developmental Investigations of Behavior and Strategy Lab in the Center for Early Childhood Research. In 2020, Daniel conducted research on youth development in school and community settings while at the American Institutes for Research. Daniel gained experience in topics such as school-based mental health, school climate, social emotional learning, restorative practices, trauma-informed practices, and out of school time. In 2022, Daniel also worked as a research coordinator at Georgetown University with Dr. Kean Hsu on technological applications to detect internalizing psychological problems.
As a researcher, Daniel wants to increase the accessibility of mental health care, especially for Black queer youth. Passionate about liberation, Daniel hopes to become involved in advocacy and community building efforts for resilient youth and families. For fun Daniel enjoys mixology, swimming, and watching scary movies.
