About
My name is Talia and I am a rising senior. I'm so excited to be supporting students as a Peer Facilitator in UROP. This program was instrumental in shaping my love for scientific research, equipping me with the skills to contribute to groundbreaking work at Michigan and beyond. UROP helped expose me to reproductive and cardiovascular research at the School of Kinesiology's LEA Lab, where for the past two years, I have had the incredible experience of investigating health impacts of menopause and postpartum. Some of the most rewarding moments have come from building trusting relationships with our participants and helping them navigate challenging transitions through exercise. Building rapport with participants is essential, and this experience has strengthened my interest in a therapeutic career. I am majoring in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience and intend to pursue a PhD to become a clinical psychologist.
I hope to bridge my clinical research experience through UROP to interdisciplinary research focused on the mental impacts of reproductive transitions like childbirth and menopause. I recently studied reproductive health systems in Denmark through the CGIS program, and I am considering academic opportunities abroad upon graduation. Outside of my life at Michigan, I love to make time for travel and outdoor exploration!
