“Sophie is an exceptional member of our community and leader in our department. She coordinates multiple department-wide research resources including the Participant Pool and Living Lab, the latter of which is a program that bridges the psychology department with the Charlottesville community. She is also passionate about conducting rigorous research and communicating it effectively to the broader community through programs such as Brain Awareness Week and interdisciplinary research exhibitions like the Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition. While wearing countless hats in the psychology department, Sophie also maintains involvement in extracurricular activities such as performing in local theater shows. Sophie has made herself invaluable to the UVA and broader Charlottesville community and is a worthy honoree for graduate student appreciation week.” --Zoë Robertson
