Her dissertation work examined cognitive functioning in depression and the intersectionality of race/ethnicity and medical comorbidities.

Dr. Joseph is currently engaged in supervising two doctoral trainees, serves as Secretary for the Dallas Psychological Association, recently completed the Texas Psychological Association's Emerging Leaders program, and is working on initiating more DEI considerations and training into the Behavioral health team at Parkland.
