Candice is a rising fourth-year at the University of California, Los Angeles, studying Psychobiology. Her research interests include how social and environmental factors directly influence biology, particularly at the neural level, and their consequent effects on the development of mental disorders. She is also interested in seeing how social processing is altered in individuals with depression, how social support and social networks affect recovery, and how different types of therapy influence responsiveness. When not in the lab, she enjoys reading and writing fiction, going on walks in nature, and exploring cafes. She intends to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and become a clinical psychologist.
