Biography

Nat is a graduate student in the developmental psychopathology and clinical science program at the Institute of Child Development. She received a B.S. in Cognitive and Brain Science from Tufts University and worked as a Clinical Research Assistant in Dr. Kerry Ressler’s Neurobiology of Fear Lab at McLean Hospital prior to beginning graduate school. Nat is interested in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms linking early life exposure to systemic stressors and chronic adversity to later psychopathological outcomes.
