Neal_imageBackground
In December of 2002, I will have graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago.  Since early 2002, I have been working in Dr. Bonnie Spring’s lab and learning the fundamentals of research.  I am currently co-coordinating one of Dr. Spring’s projects that measures the effects of nicotine on positive and negative affect in smokers with and without depression.  In this NA/PA lab, I hold many responsibilities and have many duties, while still trying to further my abilities on becoming a good researcher.

Current Activities and Interests
Currently, I am interested in the mechanisms that cause addictions in people.  More specifically I hope to learn more about why some people are more prone to addiction than others.  Through working under Dr. Spring, I hope to expand my interests and enhance my research potentials on this topic.
