Ä¢¹½TV

My name is Suan Suban, I am a Senior at Ä¢¹½TV graduating this Fall with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in Neuroscience and Cognition. I started working as a lab assistant in Dr. Sinclair’s research lab in June of 2023. Together we have worked on two different studies, the Aging Self-Efficacy and Non-Cognition study. I worked alongside Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Hines from the University of Wisconsin on a poster submitted to the American Psychology Association Conference. After graduation, I will continue to be an asset to Dr. Sinclair and the team as they continue to work on all projects.

After graduation, I will be taking a gap year to get married and venture into the job field. During my hiatus, I will be applying to graduate programs to further my education as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and to help further break the stigma around mental health. My end goal is to receive my Doctorate and open a clinic in my home country Jamaica. The stigma of mental health is very bad, and many have suffered through generations without receiving the help they need due to the lack of knowledge and resources. Coming from a family that does not believe in depression or mental health issues I want to be a part of the change.

My research interests are depression, behavioral neuroscience, developmental and clinical psychology.

I am a second-year undergraduate student at Ä¢¹½TV majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Cognition & Neuroscience. I am working alongside Dr. Starlette Sinclair in her research lab, and currently working predominantly on her ongoing Metacognition project. As I continue my academic journey, my goal is to apply for a Ph.D. in Neuroscience upon completion of my undergraduate studies. 

My research interests primarily involve the neurological structures that contribute to cognitive and psychopathological processes throughout development from birth through young adulthood (with major emphasis on puberty). I believe that adolescent psychopathology, development, and cognitive process is often overlooked and under-researched, especially in the light of puberty and how that affects the mind and body. 

To summarize, my research interests are primarily neuroscientific, cognitive, and developmental, with psychopathology adding a touch of clinical. I hope to integrate all of these into my future work. 

I have worked with children for the past four years through a vocational program in my previous high school (which then extended onwards into paid work outside of school) for the hands-on psychological experience into the mind of children and adolescents it gave. I went as far as to obtain my Child Development Associate Credential (CDA) from the Council for Professional Recognition which required much study into child development. I have found this life experience very valuable and hope to continue it throughout my undergraduate career, as I find this personal connection with the age group I hope to research helps me understand them on a level perhaps lost to other researchers.

Hello! I am a fourth year Psychology and Neuroscience undergraduate student going into the field of
Social Work and Therapy. I have much passion to apply my studies of human behavior and the brain to help heal individuals and communities around the world. Research itself can be a great tool in finding
meaningful insights that can change peoples’ lives and as someone intrigued by this realm of
psychology, I knew it would benefit me greatly to uncover significant discoveries in metacognition and
learn about the research process as a whole. My focuses within my future careers will include mental health, addiction recovery, education on healthy relationships, neurodivergence, disabled populations,
homelessness, the spectrum of trauma, education and awareness on many forms of abuse, including sexual abuse of children, fighting against human trafficking, and helping survivors recover.

Important Notes:

• Participant in Multi-cultural and Leadership programs such as Leadershape, Emerging Eagles, Leadership
  Academy, and Beyond the Lines
• Accelerated Collegiate Experience Mentor for incoming students of the ACE Program
• Volunteer Work
  • Volunteered with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) by presenting about mental health in
    schools and sharing my story
