Golnaz is a rising fourth-year Psychobiology major at the University of California, Los Angeles and her research interests include how cultural differences in family upbringing influence emotional expression, social relationships, and the onset of mental disorders during adolescence. She wants to explore how exactly cultural stigma and inadequate support from family members can worsen mental health among adolescents and their development into adulthood. She hopes to become a clinical psychologist! Outside of the lab, she loves listening to music, going to concerts, going on walks, and spending time with friends and family.
