Biography

Tamara is a second-year graduate student in the Developmental Psychology program working with Dr. Tracy Riggins. In Spring of 2018, she graduated from Washington State University (WSU) with dual Bachelors degrees in Psychology and Kinesiology. As an undergraduate, Tamara worked as a Research Assistant/Intern in Dr. Christorper Connolly's Exercise Physiology & Performance Laboratory and in Dr. Maria Gartstein's Infant Temperament Laboratory. Tamara's interdisciplinary experiences allowed her to be a liaison between the two laboratories, giving her the opportunity to study the links between prenatal health behaviors and infant development. Tamara's current research interests include health and lifestyle factors that impact the early development of episodic memory and the brain. Specifically sleep, stress, and exercise.
