Guest Dr. Nicole Telfer

Bio: Nicole A. Telfer holds a PhD in Applied Developmental Psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University, and a Master of Arts degree in Applied Developmental Psychology from UMBC. Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised on ackee and saltfish, Nicole is a proud daughter of Jamaican parents and takes pride in her heritage. Furthermore, Nicole’s research focuses on finding ways to improve the educational experiences and developmental outcomes of racially minoritized youth. Ultimately, Nicole hopes to create preventive intervention programs in inner-city neighborhoods that will center the overall well-being of racially minoritized children and adolescents. She believes that understanding the role of socio-cultural factors, like racist discrimination and neighborhood quality, can help close the achievement gap that exists in the U.S. Outside of academia and research, Nicole loves to travel, enjoys listening to H.E.R and Jazmin Sullivan, finds pleasure in reading radical books, and spends ample time tending to her plants. She is a spoken-word artist and author and co-author of four books: Freed, A Black Woman’s Guide to Earning a Ph.D., Phoenix Phenomenon, and Our Doctoral Journey.
