Katherine Moore began work as a client-based researcher in the Social and Administrative Science Division of the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy in March 2024. She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience. In her time as an undergraduate student, she conducted research in The Eating Motivation Lab (PI: Dr. Mary M. Boggiano) and The Science of Child Development and Neurodiversity (STARS) Lab (PI: Dr. Caroline G. Richter).
Some of her research interests include general well-being, resilience, motivation, and the impact of the rapidly advancing modern-day environment on human behavior and overall health. Her enthusiasm for learning and tendency to ask many questions prepare her to be a productive member of the SAMS Lab research team.
In her free time, Katherine enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading with her cat Jiji, spending time in nature, meeting new people, and exploring new places. She is excited to be part of carrying out the mission of the SAMS Lab and to call Madison her home.
