About me

Industry Science
Occupation Clinical Research Coordinator
Location New England, United States
Introduction Completed a Bachelors at Dartmouth College 2005 with a degree in Arabic Language & Literature, minoring in Social Psychology, completed a Masters in Arabic & Islamic Studies at Harvard University 2007 with Farsi on the side, and collected a Masters degree in Experimental Psychology from Brandeis University in 2009. Eventually I'll do the PhD thing in cross-cultural developmental Psychology, focusing on effects of PTSD on childhood development, but for now I'm a research coordinator for a study looking at early diagnostic signs of Autism. More generally, I'm an optimistic, slow-to-anger, soft-spoken woman of few words. I also have a slight stutter; most seem to find this endearing.
