Sofia Escobar
(She/Her)
Volunteer
Sofia is a volunteer in the TREC lab and currently in her fourth-year of study of Psychology (BSc) with a minor in Data Science. Her research interests include how adverse mental health outcomes in children (particularly suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviours) are shaped by their relationships with their parents, and how parent-child relationships can support child wellbeing. In the future, she hopes to explore this research interest by pursing graduate education in Clinical Psychology.
What would you bring in your backpack if you were heading on a TREC (trek)?
If I were preparing for a TREC, I would bring sunscreen since I burn easily in the sun. I would also bring my phone and headphones, so I could listen to podcasts and audio books on my journey. Lastly, I would bring lots of granola bars to keep me energized!
