My name is Catrina Pereda and I am double majoring in neuroscience and psychology. I am interested in attending graduate school with the long-term goal of  being a research professor. For my LHSI project, I will be working in the Lukkes lab to conduct neuroscience research focusing on alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) utilizing the Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) experimental model.
