Andja Kola
Research Assistant
Hi! My name is Andja Kola and I am a junior at Worcester State
University. Double-majoring in Psychology and Liberal Studies (PreMed)
and minoring in Spanish, I am particularly interested in understanding
the human mind and doing research, always focusing on helping people.
A fun fact about me is that I am fluent in three languages including
English.
Anna Rideout
Research Assistant
My name is Anna and I am a Psychology major/Communication Disorders minor at Worcester State. I come from eastern mass and work at a bakery there, as well as a ski lodge here in central mass. I just started learning how to snowboard which I’m really excited about! I look forward to working with Dr. Eagan and the GIVE lab this Spring - I’m hoping to make a positive contribution.
Abigail Rose
Research Assistant
My name is Abigail Rose and I am a senior at Worcester State University. I am majoring in psychology with a concentration in mental health services and a minor in criminal justice. I have always been interested in gaining an understanding of how people think and behave the way they do. In the future, I would like to work alongside criminals/victims, helping them learn ways to appropriately process and cope with their emotions. Outside of academics, I like to spend my free time painting or crocheting or attempting to learn a new form of crafting :)
