Holly Pham is a graduate student in the Child Clinical Psychology program. She graduated with a B.S. in Psychobiology from UCLA, where she gained valuable research experience working with children and using psychophysiology measures to examine stress responsivity. Before she started her current studies at Penn State, Holly worked at the Stanford Neurodevelopment, Affect, and Psychopathology Lab, where she coordinated a longitudinal study of early adversity and puberty effects on neurodevelopment in adolescence. These experiences have led Holly to develop a research interest in understanding the biological mechanisms through which childhood adversity contributes to risk for psychopathology and other negative outcomes. She also enjoys baking, traveling, and discovering new music.
