Welcome Gina and Laura!
Laura, PhD, is a Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine T32 postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Laura Stroud in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Center for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine at The Miriam Hospital. She completed clinical psychology internship at Brown and her PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Connecticut (UConn) where she worked under the mentorship of Dr. Dean Cruess. Laura completed graduate certificates in health psychology and quantitative research methods while at UConn. She received a BA in psychology and Spanish from the University of Virginia and a MS in clinical psychology from UConn. Prior to graduate school, Laura worked for two years as a research coordinator for Dr. Audrey Tyrka in the Mood Disorders Research Program at Butler Hospital.
Gina is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Dr. Laura Stroud's BAMBAM lab and is currently funded on Brown's HIV T32 at Rhode Island Hospital. Most recently, she completed her Clinical Psychology residency on the Behavioral Medicine track at Brown and graduated with her PhD from Oklahoma State University. Her research focuses on psychosocial predictors of perinatal sleep and the intergenerational transmission of stress between birthing people and their infants. During fellowship, she plans to expand her research into examining biological factors that impact perinatal and infant sleep. She will also be completing her clinical hours for licensure at Women & Infants Postpartum Day Hospital and is interested in working with birthing people with moderate to severe psychopathology. Proudly, Gina is a first-generation scholar and the first person in her entire extended family to obtain a doctorate and be affiliated with an Ivy League institution.
One of our interns, Czenil, was highlighted in an article from Brown University about Brown’s after school program with the D’Abate Elementary School!
Czenil presented her senior thesis at two conferences in April! We are so proud and can’t wait for her to graduate! Way to go, Czenil!!!
Tyra presented her poster at Lifespan’s research day! Her poster focused on how both anxious and avoidant attachments predicted emotion dysregulation in a sample of emerging adults. Great job, Tyra!
We are super proud of our undergraduate intern, Czenil, who has recently completed her FENS certification! Way to go, Czenil!
