Dr. Meléndez Guevara earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and received her Ph.D. in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University. Dr. Melendez Guevara studies children and families in the context of their interaction to human service systems and relies on risk and resilience frameworks and culturally informed socioecological models. Her program of research seeks to: 1) work towards justice-based and responsive service systems capable of meeting the needs and strengths of communities at higher risk to social exclusion, and 2) contribute to the effective and equitable translation and dissemination of research for sustainable child developmental well-being through engaging in community-based research efforts.
