Graduate Student - Fifth Year
BA Psychology, Bowling Green Sate University
Research Interests
My research interests involve examining the intersection between difficulties with emotion regulation and cognitive functioning in individuals experiencing neurodegeneration. I am also interested in looking at the impact of different lifestyle interventions (e.g., mindfulness-based stress reduction) on emotion regulation and other metrics of affective health. In the coming years I hope to work to make these interventions more accessible by aiding in the design of an online mindfulness-based intervention.
Clinical Interests
Similar to my research interests, my clinical interests involve working with individuals experiencing difficulties with emotion dysregulation and providing them with skills to better regulate their emotions. So far, I have received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
I am committed to diversity and inclusion in research and clinical practice. My next research project will involve an online mindfulness intervention and I am committed to obtaining a representative research sample across many dimensions and it is my hope that the online format of this study will allow us to reach many different populations.

MEGAN FISHER
Graduate Student -Third Year
BS Psychology, Michigan State University
Research Interests:
Broadly, Megan is interested in examining the role of mindfulness on the relationship between cognitive function and emotion regulation, particularly in older adults and individuals with internalizing psychopathology. She is also interested in studying the neural mechanisms of mindfulness training and its impact on overall well-being.
Clinical Interests:
Megan is interested in conducting mindfulness-based stress reduction with individuals suffering from internalizing psychopathology and chronic stress.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:
Megan is committed to incorporating diversity and inclusion in both her future research and clinical work by actively seeking opportunities to engage with diverse and underrepresented populations. Furthermore, she believes it is imperative to embrace diversity of thought and looks forward to engaging in rigorous discussions with mentors, peers, undergraduates, and community members. Lastly, Megan aspires to help bridge the gap between the scientific and lay communities by presenting her future research with diverse non-scientific groups.

Currently, Tyreek is interested in neuropsychological assessment among minoritized groups. As well as lifestyle interventions that aid with the reduction of stress.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:
Tyreek is passionately dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion in psychology. Actively engaged in two Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committees—through the CCBBI and the graduate program—he also volunteers for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion's Graduate and Professional Student Recruitment Initiative (GPS) program. As a mentor, he guides prospective students from underrepresented backgrounds. Tyreek aspires to further his impact by mentoring underrepresented students interested in research-focused careers, aiming to contribute to a more diverse and dynamic field of psychology.
Hobbies/ Fun Facts:
Tyreek has an outgoing personality. In his free time, he enjoys socializing with friends and
family, going to concerts, painting, cooking, and going to the movies.
Research Interests:
Broadly, Matt is interested in studying modifiable lifestyle risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, in addition to determining how digital health technologies can be leveraged for lifestyle interventions and early detection testing. Furthermore, he is interested in understanding how the social exposome contributes to brain health inequities, and how researchers can better address Alzheimer’s disease disparities through precision medicine in clinical trials and interventions. Additionally, he is also interested in studying multiple health behavior changes in older adults.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:
Matt is committed to diversity and inclusion in his current and future research. As an aspiring clinical trialist, Matt acknowledges that diversity in science at both the researcher and participant-level is necessary to promote equitable solutions in the healthcare system. Furthermore, Matt acknowledges that he has much to learn respective to social and cultural differences – in addition to the many different challenges minority populations face.
