Areas of Interest/Research Focus
Adolescent psychopathology and development. I’ve work in Dr. Jeremy Jamieson’s social stress lab as a head RA, and my honors thesis is with Dr. Elizabeth Handley at Mt. Hope Family Center on hair and nail cortisol mediating the relationship between childhood maltreatment and adult substance use.
Furthermore, I’ve participated in research with URMC’s psychiatry department on reintegration of previously incarcerated women and women who have been victims of intimate partner violence via the WISH-Transitions Health clinic.
Areas where I may be particularly helpful
- Interview skills
- Lab tours
- Application help/writing
What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?
Explore any interests you have, but also as long as you like what you do, expand on it! It’s been really cool to work on similar areas of interest but in different aspects in the labs I’ve work in. Also, make sure to form a relationship with your PI and those in your lab—make it fun to go into work and enjoy what you’re doing.
