Center for Healthy Minds

Natalie is a visiting research intern working under Dr. Sarah Short on the Baby Brain and Behavior project, a research initiative investigating how early experiences influence brain and emotion-related development in the first two years of life. A Wisconsin native and 2016 UW graduate with a bachelors in psychology, she is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg, Germany, and will finish the research portion of the degree under the direction of Dr. Short here at UW. Her interests include neuroimaging, neural correlates of psychiatric disease and their treatments, the neuropsychology of eating behavior, and the clinical applications and neural correlates of mindfulness-based interventions in psychiatric and non-psychiatric populations. Natalie is excited to be back in Madison and to join the innovative team at CHM.
