Paige Henry
Graduate Student
Experimental Psychology
I am a first year Experimental Psychology PhD student. My research interests include LGBTQ+ populations, minority stress and stigma, and how relationships with community, family, friends, partners, and pets may impact the physical and mental health of the LGBTQ+ population. After gaining my PhD, I plan to likely do a post-doc and continue on to become a professor.
