Biography
My name is Leah Peña and I’m a second year undergraduate majoring in Psychology and English & Creative Writing with a certificate in Resilience and Trauma-Informed Perspectives. Currently, I am a research assistant at the THRIVE Lab working to identify the factors that contribute to mental and physical health during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and among youth. After graduating, I plan on attending graduate school to get my PhD in clinical psychology.
