Shaye Henry
Graduate Student
Experimental Psychology
I am a second 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.

I am a Senior studying clinical psychology. Additionally, I am minoring in changemaking through the honors college. Overall, I am interested in learning as much about psychology as possible and plan to study clinical mental health counseling post-graduation. In my free time, I like to read and take my dog, Winnie, on walks.
Sarah Mohammed

I am a junior majoring in psychology with a minor in Black American studies. I am broadly interested in how social psychology influences clinical practice. I hope to be a more accessible source of mental health treatment after gaining an advanced psychology degree. In my free time, I enjoy strength training and photography.
