We are excited to welcome our summer intern, Oluwatoni “Toni” Ariyo back to our research team!

Toni is a rising high school senior and was awarded a NIH Research Diversity Supplement award to engage in research training with our team. Research Diversity Supplement awards aim to increase the participation of promising scholars from underrepresented groups in the social science, clinical, biomedical, and behavioral fields. Toni’s long-term career goal is to contribute to the medical field as a psychiatrist.

Toni presented her research from last summer regarding the relationship between age-related speech disfluencies and life satisfaction in mothers with the FMR1 premutation at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) this past February.

Welcome Toni, we are thrilled to work with you again this summer!
