See Full CV

Julia graduated from New York University with a Bachelors of Science in Applied Psychology in May 2019. After taking a class on Behavioral Neuroscience, she realized that she was very interested in learning about how brain chemistry affects behavior and vice versa. She began working at Infant Studies of Language and Neurocognitive Development (ISLAND) lab under Dr. Natalie Brito during her senior year at NYU and knew she wanted to pursue the field of neuropsychology further. After graduation, she moved on to the Holmes Lab at Yale University, a clinicial neuroscience lab, where she worked on an R01 funded project on the pyschiatric connectome of mental illness with Dr. Avram Holmes. She is in her fourth year of a developmental psychology PhD program at the CUNY Graduate Center under Dr. Jennifer Wagner studying social cognitive development in preschoolers.
