Which lab are you representing?
– The NIDL lab working on the Family Brain Program with Dr. Hancock.

What is your position in the Lab?
– Research Assistant

What degree are you pursuing?
– Third year undergraduate student // Sociology
and Human Development and Family Studies – double major

What have you learned from working in the lab?
– In the lab I was excited to get to work with
students and faculty in a research lab that I wouldn’t normally have access to. It’s been a great chance for me to grow as a student. I’ve also been learning about how much work is put into organizing and creating these experiments for adults and kids. People in the lab have also taught us how MRI and EEG testing works which is very fun and interesting.

What are your future goals?
– I’m interested in working with children and adolescents and how public policies affect them in educational settings. Specifically I want to study educational development and possibly mental health later on when I pursue a masters degree.

What is your favorite activity to do at home?
– As of late I’ve been playing piano, drawing, and in addition, learning how to cook.
