Gender Affirmation Project
The Trans-ilience Research Lab is proud to partner with Allen Neighborhood Center, the MSU Triangle Bar Association, and the Salus Center to present the Gender Affirmation Project, a program that provides financial and practical assistance to transgender and nonbinary folks in Ingham County seeking to update their legal name and/or gender marker.

I am a senior psychology major with a minor in human behavior and social work. My academic interests focus on decision making and motivation, I am curious about what drives people to choose what they do. As I aspire to continue my education, I am enthusiastic about exploring how thoughts, emotions, and our social surrounding impact behavior. I hope to investigate what helps people thrive and how small changes may lead to better outcomes. In my free time I enjoy reading classic literature, hiking, and playing with my cat named Bingo.
