Alessandra Mitchell

My name is Alessandra Mitchell and I am from Washington D.C. I am a senior psychology major with a concentration in behavioral neuroscience. I am extremely passionate about the field of neuropsychology, and social psychology. Specifically, how activity in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala underlie socially significant behaviors and decision-making. In the future, I hope to apply my knowledge working in a clinical setting. I want to help children diagnosed with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. In my free time, I love to play tennis, cook new recipes, and travel with friends and family.
