Biography
Ginnie Kim is a doctoral student in the Human Development area within the Department of Educational Psychology working with Dr. Sarah Short. She received her B.S. in Brain and Cognitive Science from University of Rochester. Prior to coming to UW-Madison, she worked as a full-time research assistant in a neuroimaging lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH. She continues to utilize neuroimaging at UW-Madison to explore the effects of early adverse experiences on children’s brain development, academic achievement, and well-being. She is also affiliated with the Center for Healthy Minds and is excited to integrate her research with mindfulness program.
