Undergraduate Research Assistant
Expected graduation: Fall 2024
As a senior majoring in psychology, I am eager to learn more about how everyday emotions impact one’s daily life, as well as the cognitive processes that create these experiences. My first research experience was at BU’s Center for Autism Research Excellence, where I collaborated on a project investigating how parent language quality influences behavioral engagement states in autistic children. I am excited to now be a part of the Meyer lab, where I can dive deeper into research surrounding fear and safety learning and combine my interests in psychology and neuroscience. I am very interested in the realm of learning and memory, and I hope to grow my research skills and continue in the research field in the years to come.
