Psychology

Alison is a fourth-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Wyoming. Originally from Massachusetts, she earned her BS in Neuroscience from Brandeis University and an MEd in Mind, Brain, and Education from Harvard University. Before beginning her doctoral training, Alison worked as a research coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Lurie Center for Autism, where she further developed her research and clinical interests in neurodevelopmental disabilities. Her experience in this multidisciplinary setting reinforced the value and importance of collaborative care in supporting individuals and families. Alison is eager to continue learning from professionals, fellow trainees, and community members through the URLEND program.

In her free time, Alison enjoys the challenge of baking recipes at high altitude, as well as skiing, hiking with her dog Ludo, and playing ultimate frisbee.
