I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, as well
as a Master’s degree in Research Psychology
from UMass Dartmouth. Currently, I’m a first-year
doctoral student studying Social Psychology at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The
story of my research began in 2009 as a freshman
at UMass Dartmouth. Having always wanted to be
a “doctor”, I felt completely unsure of my future and
where I was headed. Luckily, Dr. Trina Kershaw’s
PSYCH 101 class (in particular, her weekly book club)
got me really excited about Psychology! This interest
quickly developed into my active involvement as an
undergraduate research assistant.
