I am a rising junior majoring in psychology. I am excited to be working in the BEE Lab because I am very interested in brain development and its ties to psychology. I am particularly interested in positive psychology, adaptive skills and behaviors, and parents’ influence on children’s development. In the future, I plan on going to graduate school for psychology. In addition to the BEE lab, I have been working with Professor Belle on research involving gender schemas. In my free time, I enjoy going out to restaurants, spending time with friends and shopping.

Alumni Update: Basak graduated with Honors in Psychology in 2017.
