Peer Relations
I am a fourth-year student in the Peer Relations lab, working with Dr. Julie Hubbard. My research interests include children’s peer relationships, bullying, psychophysiology, and aggression. This year I am completing supervised clinical practica at the A.I. duPont Hospital for Children and at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
