Maeve is a graduate student studying in the Clinical Psychology Program (Child Track) under the supervision of Dr. McMahon. Her Master's thesis involved using a person-centered data analytic approach to examine desistance of early-onset conduct problems and its association with long-term psychosocial outcomes. Her research interests include developmental pathways of child and adolescent psychopathology as well as risk and protective processes that are amenable to intervention. Maeve defended her dissertation in December 2021. Her doctoral research, funded by CIHR's Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholarship, investigated whether ODD symptom 'subgroups' could be identified in the Fast Track sample. She is now in the process of completing her pre-doctoral residency.
