Jacey started as a Research Coordinator in July 2022 and came to us from the Department of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery where she worked as a Clinical Research Assistant for 1.5 years. She graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May 2020 with Bachelors of Science degrees in Psychology and Biological Sciences. Jacey’s career goals include gaining entrance into a PhD program in Clinical Psychology and eventually conducting her own research and working clinically with underserved populations. While she is open to any clinical setting, she believes either an adult Level I trauma center or an adult corrections facility would be great fits for her. Her research interests broadly include suicidology and suicide prevention, implementation and evaluation of culturally competent mental health care, and forensic psychology. Specifically, she is interested in the impacts of involvement in the criminal justice system and incarceration on mental health and suicide risk, discrimination as a mediator for suicide risk and behavior among minority populations, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, and the effects of repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) on long-term mental health and suicide risk. She is passionate about implementing upstream suicide prevention measures and leveraging data to influence policy change, increase access to mental health care for marginalized groups, and enact systems-level change. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her rescue pitty, Carmen, reading, watching reality TV, cheering on the Chicago Cubs, and attending concerts, music festivals, and drag shows.
