Let’s learn more about Laura Hinsch!
Laura Hinsch joined the UCONN KIDS team as Research Assistant in September. Laura is currently a senior at the University of Connecticut, majoring in Human Development and Family Sciences and minoring in Communication. After graduation she hopes to find a job centered around child development in a non-profit sector, school, or educational faculty.
For about the past eight years, Laura has been constantly working with kids, whether that be in the role of a babysitter, mentor, tutor, or camp counselor. Specifically, this past summer she worked as a program coordinator at an overnight summer camp, creating lesson plans involving different physical, social, and educational activities that promoted self-growth and learning. Through these experiences, she has found a strong passion to improve the systems we have in place for children. She has a desire to help children become confident in their skills, abilities, and themselves through learning experiences and social/emotional support.
In her free time she enjoys hiking, traveling, attending fitness classes, and cooking new recipes. On campus you can find her working with UConn Student Activities. Laura is looking forward to supporting researchers through participant recruitment, and connecting kids with the opportunity to be a part of science!
