Daylin Delgado is a first-generation Cuban-American woman from Miami Gardens, Florida. Early in her undergraduate years, Daylin discovered her love for research, particularly in adolescent mental health. She went to work as a clinical research assistant on the Autistic Adults and other Stakeholders Engage Together - Suicide Prevention (AASET-SP) project at the UNC TEACCH Autism Program, where her primary research project focused on adapted interventions for addressing suicidality in autistic youth and young adults. In this role, Daylin gained invaluable experience in community-partnered research and clinical trials, and what it means to involve the communities we wish to help in the research process from start to finish.
Daylin is currently pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Georgia and hopes to continue to address mental health disparities in adolescents from underrepresented and underserved communities.
