Dr. Meghan Gillen's recent scholarly work focuses on body image and health. She completed data collection for a study on early motherhood health involving moms with babies ages 0 - 12 months, and is now working on analyzing the data. She is also collaborating with two former students on a manuscript on behavioral inhibition, reward sensitivity, and body image.
My experience with the psych department in general was amazing. I had a great advisor in Dr. Bernstein who was supportive and helped drive me! I also had an awesome professor and mentor in Dr. Benfield who always pushed me to do be a better scientist and a deeper thinker. Dr. Sessa gave me the tools I needed to be a great counselor. Thanks to their support I am always willing to come back and mentor other students on their journeys in the psych world, whether they choose research or go clinical!
