Bio:
Jannah expects to graduate summa cum laude from Oregon State University in June 2023 with a honors B.S. in Psychology and a minor in writing. Throughout her undergrad, she worked in three research labs investigating 1) self-regulation and school readiness in children, 2) depression and suicide in adolescents, and 3) judgment and decision making. Through these labs, Jannah had the opportunity to examine self-regulation differences for her honors thesis, co-develop a smartphone-delivered mindfulness intervention to address worry and rumination for teens, collaborate on a safety planning tool for those at high risk of suicide, and help develop materials for an undergraduate course on judgment and decision making. Her involvement in these labs has ultimately shaped her interest in the role cognitive processes play on harmful behaviors such as non-suicidal self injury and maladaptive eating. She is excited to work with technology-based interventions for binge-spectrum eating disorders, particularly in the hopes of increasing accessibility to treatment for marginalized groups. In the future, Jannah hopes to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology, where she wants to focus her research on the role of cognitive processes in suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and eating disorders.
