Hi everyone. I am a double major studying Spanish and Psychology. On campus I am one of the co-presidents for the psychology club. On my free time I love to read, go to the gym and sleep. Research has always been an interested of mine and with my previous experience with the lab, I am excited to see what new things I can learn. After I graduate I plan to pursue higher education in the field of psychology. :)

Amina

I'm in my senior year studying Psychology, with an additional major in English Literature and a minor in Spanish. In my free time I enjoy reading, exploring new places, and spending time with my loved ones. I'm so excited to return to the EMMA Lab as an RA and take part in the fascinating work being done! After graduation, I plan on working as a Research Assistant with the NIH as a recipient of the Undergraduate Scholarship Program award. Eventually, I hope to get a PhD in Social or Educational Psychology and have a career in research.

Lilly

My name is Lilly, and I am a sophomore Psychology major with a minor in Biology and Disabilities studies. I am very interested in Neuropsychology specifically and plan to go to graduate school to study it further, but I also enjoy learning about other areas of Psychology. I also have my Early Childhood Education Certification and enjoy working with kids, and I hope to incorporate that into my future career by hopefully becoming a pediatric neuropsychologist. In my free time, I like to spend time with family and friends, run, travel, and watch TV shows and movies.

Jessika

I am a senior student studying Clinical Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. From a young age, I have been fascinated by other people’s minds and behavior, and I would like to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health. After graduation, I am planning to continue my education by earning a master's degree in psychology and eventually pursuing a PsyD or PhD in the field of psychology. In my free time, I enjoy going on nature walks, binge-watching TV shows, reading, and baking.

Dimitri

I am a Senior with a major in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I love how psychology examines the mind, one of my favorite interests is how different personal environments clash with how someone was raised affects a person (Nature v. Nurture). This also lured me to look deeper into how this can affect crime and incarceration. My plans are to attend graduate school and look more into the realm of mental health and counseling. I love to do sprint workouts, hit the gym, stay in my faith and be a fly guy.  

Abby

I am a clinical psychology student with a minor in studio art. My background is in massage therapy, anatomy, and relaxation techniques like mindfulness. My current research interests include cognitive psychology, attention, mindfulness, pain psychology, and clinical trials for psychedelics. I plan to pursue grad school and a career in clinical pain psychology as both a researcher and psychologist, specializing in biofeedback and other mind-body approaches for patients with chronic pain. In my free time I enjoy staying active, spending time in nature, and painting the beautiful world we live in.
