Alexandra Klein, Student Representative
My name is Alexandra (Ali) Klein, and I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Psychology in 2015. Following graduation, I worked as a full-time Research Assistant at the VA Boston Healthcare System in the National Center for PTSD on a study examining trajectories of PTSD in Veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan under the supervision of Dr. Brian Marx. In 2017, I began graduate school at Case Western Reserve University in the PTSD Research and Treatment Program under the mentorship of Dr. Norah Feeny. Broadly, my research interests involve improving access to and efficacy of evidence-based interventions for PTSD. I am specifically interested in identifying novel bottom-up approaches to facilitate clinical decision making and dissemination and implementation of these interventions. I’m looking forward to my role as one of the SSCP student representatives and to moving the mission of SSCP forward! You can reach me at abk67@case.edu.

Sam Cooper, Listserv Facilitator
I am a clinical Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota working with Dr. Shmuel Lissek. My research interests are centered on the neurobiological and behavioral processes underlying fear and anxiety, and how these processes contribute to the development and maintenance of different forms of psychopathology. I have been an SSCP member since I was an undergraduate student, and have found it to be an amazing source of information and knowledgeable people at all stages of my career. I am particularly interested in increasing awareness of and participation in SSCP (and clinical science in general) in undergraduate and post-bacc students.
