Natasha is a Research Assistant at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS). She graduated from Adelphi University in December 2021 with a B.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience. During her time at Adelphi, Natasha was a student researcher at Dr. Dominic Fareri’s Lab for Social Neuroscience and Decision-Making where she worked on a project that investigated impulsive decision-making tendencies. To expand her knowledge in computational neuroscience, Natasha took courses in computer science that strengthened her coding skills and enabled her to manipulate and interpret data.
