Valeria Burgos-Villanueva

Graduated with an M.S. in Health Education and Behavior from the University of Florida, and a B.S. in Microbiology and Cell Sciences from the University of Florida.

I’m a pre-medical student with aspirations to specialize in pediatrics or obstetrics and gynecology. I aim to apply the research from this lab to deepen my understanding and enhance my ability to support and care for future patients as a physician. As for my hobbies, I enjoy watching/rating movies on Letterboxd (@vburgos), reading, and spending time with my friends.

Kenneth Cruz

Graduated with a B.S. in Psychology with an emphasis in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience and a minor in Sociology from the University of Florida.

I’m a post-baccalaureate student preparing to enter the field of Clinical Pediatric Psychology. By expanding my knowledge and skillset in applied research settings, being a part of this lab will empower me in achieving my academic and professional goals. During my free time, I like to spend my time watching anime, playing video games, and doing activities with my friends.
