Undergraduate Research Assistants – Language Acquisition Lab

Jessica Sanders

Hello! My name is Jessica Sanders, I am a second-year undergraduate student at UCLA studying Cognitive Science. I hope to pursue a graduate degree and work in pediatric clinical care. I am passionate about cognitive development of adolescents, and how language influences this growth. Growing up in a bilingual household has led to my fascination of linguistic influence on identity, culture, and cognitive processes. In my free time I enjoy figure skating and baking!
