I joined the DESC lab because I am really interested in human development research, specifically about parent and child relationships.  This lab has helped me better understand children’s coping mechanisms, as well as how they change over time.  I want to be a teacher in the future and the experiences and collaborations I have had with fellow lab members and participants have prepared me for a solid transition into education.
