Clara is excited to begin her first year as a Lab Manager and Technician at Northeastern University. Clara was born and raised in Los Angeles county. She recently completed her undergraduate education with an emphasis in psychology at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Clara’s previous research investigated the impact of concepts like Social Dominance Orientation, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, American Exceptionalism & Individualism, and internalized biases within the United States. She is also interested in moral psychology, decision-making, and how we define common terms across demographic and cultural differences. Clara is especially interested in utilizing a mixed-methods approach and engaging in conversation to better understand the numerous perspectives of the people around her. When she’s not in the lab, you can find her reading, baking, or re-watching her favorite movies.
