Smith, Jessica

Jessica is CBHT’s lead undergraduate research assistant this year. She’s a fourth-year student majoring in Psychology and is a Distinguished Majors Program candidate preparing and writing a thesis with CBHT. She’s been with CBHT since the late summer of 2019, and is excited to improve her research and data analysis skills while diving deeper into the innovations of behavioral health sciences. She studied abroad at Bond University in Queensland, Australia in the summer of 2018, after her first-year. She is pursuing a career in academic research, and is very excited to go back to Bond Uni to complete her honours and PhD following undergrad. Jessica loves to cook, travel (she’s been to 4 continents), and go salsa dancing (pre-COVID) in her free time… fun fact, she’s the President of UVA Salsa Club!
