Jordan Barrera

Jordan is a rising fourth year at the University of California, Los Angeles and is interested in areas such as social neuroscience and psychophysiology, especially how biological and social factors come together to influence behavior and mental health. She is also curious about the clinical applications of cannabis, women’s health, and neuropsychiatric disorders. She is drawn to research that helps us better understand how the brain and body interact, and how that understanding can lead to better, more personalized care. Her long-term goal is to become a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Outside of the lab she is part of UCLA KIN and Music Mends Minds, and enjoys going outside, especially backpacking and hiking. At home, she enjoys baking and spending time with her siblings.
