Bio
Sama joined the lab in fall of 2026 and is currently pursuing a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in
French. She is particularly interested in individual differences in social, emotional, and cognitive
development and how environmental factors, particularly social and cultural influences,
contribute to these differences. Sama plans on attending graduate school in Psychology, where
she is hoping to further develop her research skills. She is also interested in the applied side of
Psychology, including learning about treatment options for mental health disorders. In her free
time, Sama enjoys journaling, watching movies, making matcha, and spending time with her
friends and family.
