Kelly started in the Henricks lab in fall 2021 and is a life-long WSU Coug fan; she completed her B.S. in Neuroscience and Psychology at WSU some years ago and is now working toward her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology.  Kelly has multiple years of research experience as an undergraduate research assistant and lab manager for Dr. Rebecca Craft’s behavioral psychopharmacology lab prior to joining the Henricks team.  Her research interests include sex differences in the neural circuitry underlying alcohol dependence and looks forward to discover how these differences might shed light on how to assist treatment options for alcohol use disorder.

Skylar joined the lab in Fall 2022.
