Advice for prospective graduate students: Do not be afraid to put yourself out there, ask for help or advice, or try new things! If things do not go as expected, that's okay - reflect, learn, and try again. The possibilities are limitless; you can reach beyond the confines of your mind! You just have to try.
Bio: Roselyn "Rosie" Ortiz graduated from Syracuse University in December 2024 with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Psychology and a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. She participated in the RISE program in 2024 under the mentorship of Dr. Jinjing (Jenny) Wang, with a project investigating if communicating cognitive science discoveries about numerical abilities to parents could affect their mindsets/beliefs about math and their beliefs about their child's math abilities/outcomes. This experience catapulted her research career and solidified her interests in wanting to pursue research beyond undergrad. She is so grateful to be returning to Rutgers University to pursue her Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology in the Cognition and Learning Center (CALC) Lab under the continued mentorship of Dr. Wang. She is excited for the possibilities that her research training will entail. In her free time, she enjoys playing piano, listening to music, putting together puzzles, reading, and more!
