Natalia Montoya

Position title: Undergraduate Research Assistant

Pronouns: she/her

Major: Psychology; Certificate in Criminal Justice
Year: Junior, 3rd year
Research Interests: Social and Developmental Psychology
Why I Joined the Lab: I joined this lab because I think that it is valuable to understand and learn from how children’s beliefs can be shaped by the world surrounding them. I think that the research area of developmental psychology really dives into aspects of certain ways of thinking that can be portrayed later in adulthood, becoming a valuable resource of understanding.
What I Enjoy in My Free Time: I enjoy relaxing with a good crime documentary. I also enjoy any type of craft project, like crocheting.
