Undergraduate Research Assistants

My name is Kendall Grayson, I am a senior majoring in Psychology. I am interested in the trauma and resilience of children who grow up in adverse environments and may experience racism and discrimination. I hope to pursue a career in Psychology and Social Work by increasing and providing mental health resources to children in the foster care system.

My name is Madeleine Wren and I am a second-year undergraduate student studying History and Political science. I am interested in exploring how educators and policymakers can address children’s perceptions of racism, xenophobia, and their racial-ethnic identities. In the future, I plan to attend law school and eventually pursue a career in Civil Rights law.

I am a third-year undergraduate majoring in psychology and minoring in Spanish and Crime & Justice. I am particularly interested in studying whiteness and how white children are socialized around dominant narratives. After graduation, I hope to ultimately attend graduate school for a Ph.D. in social or developmental psychology. In my free time, I enjoy playing board games with friends, biking, and being involved on campus.

My name is Natalia Morato and I'm a senior studying psychology. I'm interested in looking at the impacts of inequality on mental health, especially in Latinx populations. I plan to continue pursuing my degree after completing undergrad and hope to one day have a private practice of my own.
