Stephanie is a Research Assistant in the Buckner Laboratory. She graduated from the University of Virginia in 2021 with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies combining psychology, biology, and philosophy. As an undergraduate, she was involved in neuroimaging research that examined how social support influences reactions to threat exposure in the Virginia Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. Additionally, she conducted her own independent research study to explore the process of how emotion contagion changes during relationship development. She is particularly interested in the biological mechanisms that regulate emotion and hopes to complete a PhD in Clinical Psychology in the future.
