I am a senior majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Education. This is my fourth year in Dr. Peterson's research lab, and I am interested in learning more about how relationships in our daily lives affect the way we feel about ourselves and how we treat other people. Outside of the lab, I can be found at the rink, as I am on the Women's Ice Hockey team here at UNE. In the future, I am looking into going to chiropractic school.
