We want to give a warm welcome to our new research specialist, Christina Koenig!

Christina graduated in May 2024 from the University of South Carolina with her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Biological Sciences. She began volunteering in the SC Family Experiences study in March 2023 as an Undergraduate Research Assistant and is excited to serve as a Research Specialist and further her understanding of the FMR1 premutation and its impact on aging. Throughout her time as an undergraduate, she has served as a volunteer crisis counselor, an ESOL tutor, and held many peer leadership positions on campus. She hopes to one day pursue a degree in Genetic Counseling. 

We are thrilled to have Christina continue to work in the lab and start her new role.
