Ellie Kate Grant

Undergraduate Research Assistant

My research interests lie at the intersection of developmental and forensic psychology, focusing on how human development shapes legal outcomes and behaviors within the justice system. By examining how Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences (ACEs and PCEs) alter cognitive, emotional, and social development across the lifespan, I aim to strengthen support systems and interventions for vulnerable populations.

Fun-fact: I have a radio show on WUSC 90.5!
