Lab Manager

I grew up in Colorado and moved to California four years ago. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley, where my honors thesis explored how a scalable, low-level personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention could encourage young adults to seek help by improving their understanding of how their self-reported depression, anxiety, and stress levels compare to others. I was proud to graduate with highest honors and receive the Warner Brown Award.

I have been a member of the Joyner Lab for the past three years and currently serve as the Lab Manager. In this role, I run EEG sessions, coordinate and mentor our research assistant team, and oversee the day-to-day operations of the lab’s studies. I’m passionate about understanding how psychopathology and health intersect, and I’m excited to continue building toward a future in clinical work.
