Mackenzie Brown (B.A. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is a first year graduate student in the Eating Anxiety Treatment Lab at the University of Louisville. Mackenzie is primarily interested in improving our understanding of eating disorders and comorbid psychopathology at the individual level. In particular, she is interested in examining the causal interactions amongst symptoms implicated in both eating and anxiety disorders using ecological momentary assessment and a network approach. Ultimately, she hopes to elucidate the mechanisms that lead these disorders to persist so that we may improve treatment and prevent relapse. In her free time, Mackenzie enjoys hiking, traveling, reading, and photography.
