Penn Primals Project Research Manager

Abigail joined the Penn Primals Project in July, 2024, where she manages research activities and project administration, including coordinating collaborations, research assistants, communications, financials, and assisting Dr. Clifton and Dr. Kerry in conducting original empirical research. Abigail is especially interested in studying the connections between primals and biology and plans to attend medical school down the road.

Abigail received her B.S. in Biology and Psychology from Houghton University, a liberal arts institution in Western New York, where she graduated as valedictorian. Her diverse academic interests have led her to be passionate about interdisciplinary research incorporating biological measures in a psychological context. In her free time, she enjoys playing the saxophone, riding horses, and exploring local parks.
