Jessica Sendef
Jessica is a dual major in Psychology and Neuroscience in her last year at Carthage. She has been active in several labs at Carthage that include research in eye-tracking and attentional guidance, genetic and personality predispositions to developing anxiety and stress disorders, physiological responses to environmental stressors, stressors that come with student-teacher interactions, and responses to digital stressors based on personality. In the Barnhart lab, she continues to look at attentional guidance through eye-tracking and variables that affect efficiency. After undergrad, Jessica plans on attending a master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
