Memphis,TN Major: Psychology  Research interests: Before coming
to Rhodes, I was not sure what research I wanted to do, if any
at all. However, after spending a summer and academic year on
Dr. Marsha Walton’s research team, I have become increasingly
interested in developmental psychology. Specifically, I am very
interested to see how the stories children write reflect their
ability to form and maintain relationships with their peers, as
previous research done in developmental psychology has shown
that a child’s ability to write coherent narratives indicates
how children will interact with each other.  Extracurricular
activities: Along with my research for Dr. Walton, I am also
involved on campus as a student leader as a Resident Assistant,
and am a member of the South Asian Student Association group
(SASA). Off campus, I work as a lab assistant as St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital and as a volunteer at the Church
Health Center.  Tell the stor
