As the academic year comes to a close, we at the READi Lab wanted to give a big THANK YOU to the wonderful undergrads who made our work possible this past year! Here is a little more about each of our stellar students:
Anna Hager is graduating this spring with a B.A. in Psychology and Sociology. She is interested in working with children with developmental or behavioral disorders, and hopes one day to be a counselor or psychologist. Her favorite food is the potato, due to its versatility. “My favorite thing about READi Lab is how much I learn every day, and how supportive and helpful everyone is. I always look forward to coming in!”
Nadine Ayudiani is graduating this spring with a degree in Psychology. She has always wanted to work with families and children, and ever since learning about autism here at the READi Lab she has wanted to find a position with those affected by autism in any way. She likes all kinds of food and if she could pick a superpower she would choose mind reading, as it would be pretty handy career-wise and for life in general! “What I love about working at READi Lab is the people! They all seem very passionate and dedicated about the studies that they are working on. And I love how everyone is so kind, helpful, and encouraging towards each other!”
Jailene Ceballos is a junior double majoring in Psychology and Anthropology: medical anthropology and global health. She aspires to become a physician assistant in the future. Her favorite food is hot dogs, and if she could pick a super power it would be mind reading/control. Jailene also has a puppy named Harvey James. “I am so thankful for the knowledge and awareness I’ve acquired through my work at the READi Lab. The crew at the READi Lab are all so informed, welcoming, and kind. I’m glad to be given the opportunity to work with them.”
Raine Myrvold is finishing her sophomore year and is majoring in Psychology and Speech & Hearing Sciences. After she finishes at UW, she hopes to go to graduate school and pursue an advanced degree in speech pathology. Her favorite food is cookies, and she enjoys long walks on the beach, reading, playing trombone, running, and traveling. “My favorite thing about working in the READi Lab is that the whole team is so smart, dedicated, and pleasant to work with!”
Ashley Sun is graduating this spring with a degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. This upcoming year she will be working as the director of Island Choral Experience in order to pursue her passion in teaching music and dance. “I absolutely loved my experience working in the READi Lab—it’s been an honor working alongside the incredible people there!”
Nat Bumrungtrakul is graduating this spring with a B.S. in Psychology and this coming year will be pursuing her interest in working with children by doing ABA intervention back home in Thailand. Her favorite food is buffalo wings and all kinds of veggies, and she loves rain — but from the inside of the house, with a glass window and a cup of hot chocolate. “There are so many wonderful things about being an undergraduate research assistant at the READi Lab. My favorite is having the opportunity to learn from, and work with, other research assistants. Also, I always have the best time when kids come into the lab.”
