Hello! My name is Ezzah Tariq and I am from Las Vegas , Nevada. I am a freshman here at BU, majoring in Human Physiology and minoring in deaf studies. I volunteer at Brigham and Women’s hospital and at Silver States Pediatrics back home. I love children and am fascinated with how strongly the environment influences how children perceive and interpret the world. I am so excited to work with the Child Cognition Lab and contribute towards the amazing research in understanding how children develop and perceive. In the future I plan to attend medical school and specialize in international health equity. Outside of lab, I make jewelry, try new places to eat, and hang out with friends!
