CIRP Research Assistant (2009) 

"I spent several months working at CIRP under the mentorship of Dr. Meghan Marsac, evaluating the effectiveness of a website to help parents better understand their child's reaction to an injury from a potentially traumatic event. Since then I have graduated with a degree in Sociology from Boston College and am currently working as a research coordinator in the surgery department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. My experience at CIRP taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of communication between a research subject and the research team. What I learned at CIRP has been an invaluable part of my life and I continue to use many of the skills I gained during my time there."
