I am a senior at JHU, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. I am very interested in exploring topics such as co-rumination, coping mechanisms, and mood disorders. As an APTT peer listener, I am especially curious about how social processes can be effectively utilized as coping mechanisms. In the future, I plan to study clinical psychology and get a corgi puppy!

I am a junior at Johns Hopkins University double majoring in Psychology and Public Health Studies. My research interests lie in mood and anxiety disorders, evidence-based positive psychology interventions, and the synergies between them to improve mental health outcomes. I’m excited to develop valuable skills and insights at the Papadakis lab which I can apply to future endeavors in promoting well-being. Ultimately, I aim to pursue a doctoral degree in clinical psychology.

I am a Junior Lecturer in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to being in this role, I graduated with a BA from Georgetown University, where I studied psychology, cognitive science, and government. My main research interests revolve around the implementation of psychological interventions to improve the accessibility and quality of mental health services.
