        Beatrice (Bea) Ojuri is a first-year PhD student on the Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Science track working with Drs. Damien Fair and Jed Elison. She is broadly interested in examining shared and distinct behavioral and neurobiological traits in children with ASD and ADHD as well as early neural predictors within those disorders that contribute to emerging psychopathology. Prior to joining ICD, Bea earned her B.S. in psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2022. Later, as a research coordinator and assistant In the Center for Neurodevelopmental and Imaging Research at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, she investigated behavioral, neuropsychological, motor, and neurobiological profiles of children and adolescents with ASD, ADHD, and reading disorders as well. Additionally, she was the lead coordinator for a school-based mindfulness intervention in Baltimore City, examining the effects of the intervention on cognitive, behavioral, motor, and social-emotional functioning.
