I’m very excited to share that I have received funding for my thesis research thanks to the Paul K. Richter & Evalyn Elizabeth Cook Richter Memorial Fund! My thesis examines the complex relationships between perinatal anxiety, eco-anxiety, and general anxiety disorder. I’m grateful to be working on this project with the strong support of my advisor, Vasiliy Safin! Moving forward, I hope to produce important results that will contribute to our understanding of perinatal mental health as well as the environment’s impacts on psychopathology.
