Research Staff
Hi! My name is Alexa Aringer, I am staff in the Ad Lab, as well as the Lab Manager for Claremont McKenna College’s AMH Lab within Claremont McKenna’s Berger Institute. I graduated from UC Riverside with Phi Beta Kappa honors and earned my B.S. in Psychology in 2020. I joined the Ad Lab in the Summer of 2019, and have worked on various projects since joining, including a poster on Attachment Security and post-traumatic stress responses during COVID-19. Broadly, my research interests include examining biomarkers of traumatic stress responses among underserved populations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three pets, watching the latest show on Netflix, or potting plants into pots with funky faces. |

Hi there! My name is Maya Hernandez and I have been with the AD Lab since September 2020. I graduated in 2021 with a B.A. in Psychology from UCLA. My research interests include dissociative disorders among children and trauma responses among adolescents. In the near future, I intend to apply for Clinical Psychology Doctoral Programs, in hopes of furthering the research within my interests. When I am not working with the AD Lab, I am either reading classics or spending time with my chihuahua, Sasha. |
Hello! My name is Oretioluwasefunmi (Tose) Agbelusi, I am a 4th year psychology student at UC Riverside. I joined the Ad Lab in Winter 2020. During my time in the Adlab I have worked on numerous projects, including my poster on Childhood Racism and Oppositional Behavior Examining the Moderating Roles of Child Skin Color. My main research interest is the effects of racism and other forms of trauma on development. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family and walking my dogs. |

Research Assistants
Hello! My name is Kailee Mannak and I am a fourth-year Psychology major. I am very excited to work in the Ad Lab where I can learn and gain more experience in research. I look forward to applying what I have learned in my Psychology classes into a real-world laboratory setting. After I graduate, I would like to obtain my Masters in Occupational Therapy with the hopes of working in pediatric care, where I can help children develop fine motor skills in order to live a more fulfilled and healthy life. In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends and going to the beach! |
