Kira Riehm

I am an honors psychology student with a minor in social studies of medicine entering my third year of studies at McGill. This will be my first research project and I am thrilled to be working in the King lab. My project will look at the chain of influence between prenatal stress, autistic-like behaviors, susceptibility to bullying, and depression in the children of the mothers from Project Ice Storm.

My research interests lie in the area of mental health and wellness, more specifically the factors that promote wellness and the factors that detract from it. In the long term, I plan to pursue a degree in counseling psychology, and hope to work as a therapist with families experiencing distress.
