Sophia Amaral

Research Assistant

Psychological Sciences

I am a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Connecticut majoring in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. I am very excited to be a research assistant in the Biobehavioral Adjustment and Neurodevelopment laboratory (BAND Lab). I am interested in learning more about childhood development and how certain experiences impact an individual over the course of their life. I would like to later pursue a graduate degree in Psychology in hopes of one day having my own practice as a mental health counselor. In my free time, I enjoy working out, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.
