Bio:
Devyn is a research coordinator for Dr. Adrienne Juarascio, working primarily on the Balancing ACT and COMPASS/CBT+ projects. Devyn graduated with honors from Lehigh University in 2022, earning a B.A. in psychology with minors in Probability & Statistics and Spanish. Devyn worked in two different labs while at Lehigh. One examined the efficacy of teaching applied behavior analysis to parents of children with autism spectrum disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic, while the other investigated how racial biases are transmitted from parents to children. Devyn also completed a senior thesis that explored whether providing college students with the frame of non-death loss and giving them a constructive, open space for exploring this idea changes the way that they process and grieve non-death loss experiences. Devyn plans to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.
