Can you tell us more about what you do in your lab?
– I have been involved in our Husky See, Husky Do study in infants (Protocol # H12-289) and young children (Protocol # H14-030) from ages 6 weeks to 6 years with PI Kimberly Cuevas. The study’s main focus is on imitation games that allow us to learn more about the developing cognitive and social brain. https://kidcaplab.uconn.edu/

Can you tell us more about yourself?
– I am from Watertown, CT and am currently in my last semester of my senior year at the University of Connecticut- Waterbury campus majoring in Psychological Sciences. Two of my greatest passions in life have been psychology and working with children, which is why the C.A.P. Lab has been such a great fit. I am also a toddler teaching assistant at a daycare/learning center, so it has been a very interesting and personal experience to have been engaged in developmental research for the past 9 months. In the fall, I will be attending the University of Hartford to pursue a master’s degree in School Psychology. Some of my other passions and hobbies include drawing, painting, playing the piano, yoga, going to concerts, and volunteering at a dog rescue.
