I am a recent MSU graduate with a BS in Psychology and Statistics. This fall, I am planning to apply to PhD programs in Clinical Psychology. I have been working at the MSUTR since May 2009, and it has been a great experience so far. Some of my tasks included running assessments, preparing mailings and other supplies, and training new research assistants. Currently, I work as a Data Assistant, entering, cleaning and checking lab data.
          Outside of the lab, I volunteer at the Listening Ear Crisis center, handling various crisis calls, helping recruit and train new volunteers and analyzing call data. In addition, I am a member of Psi Chi/Psychology Honors Society and a facilitator at the Raft Hill Housing Cooperative. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, yoga and visiting family in the Detroit suburbs, Washington, D.C. and St. Petersburg, Russia.
