Harmony Panameno is a first-generation & second-year pre-psychology student at California State University, Long Beach. Harmony joined Dr. Kelly’s Child Language Interactions and Memory (CLIaM) Lab in the Fall 2023 semester after hearing about it from the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). She joined the lab to gain research experience in psychology-related fields and to help prepare her for graduate school. She hopes to earn a PhD in Clinical Forensic Psychology as it targets her interests of behavior– related research including human actions, decisions, and memory. In pursuit of this goal, Harmony hopes to one day conduct her own research regarding recidivism or eating disorders and substance use in adolescents and later develop programs to help minimize these issues. These issues are especially important to Harmony as she has witnessed the consequences of these problems first-hand growing up and would like to be a part of the change. During her time in lab, Harmony has taken the lead on conducting research presentations at conferences like the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR), as well as the UROP symposium. During Harmony’s free time, she enjoys quality time with friends, listening to music, and expanding her wardrobe.
