Student Mentorship



Current Research Students



My name is Carolyn and I am a junior psychology major with a minor in marketing. My time at Fairfield has allowed me to recognize my interests in social psychology and mental health in general. To combine my interests in psychology and business, in the future, I hope to obtain a career in healthcare marketing. In my free time, I enjoy working out and spending time with my friends and family!

Hi! My name is Katherine and I'm a Sophomore Psychology major with minors in Health Studies and Sociology. The areas of Psychology that I find to be most interesting involve adolescent mental health, social/developmental psychology, and how we can make research more inclusive and reliable. My future plans are varied but I am considering attending grad school to acquire a PhD. For fun, I enjoy reading, yoga, playing the piano, and going to the beach!

My name is Avery Zaimes and I am a senior psychology student with a minor in sociology. The areas I am most interested in studying are personality, social, and industrial/organizational psychology. I am currently interning at Fairfield's Human Resources department and taking a graduate class in I/O psychology. After graduation, I hope to join the I/O psychology graduate program to pursue a masters degree in the field. This will help me to reach my goal of applying psychology to business settings to improve work life and organizational diversity. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends, learning how to cook, and travelling to new places!
