Picture
Maku is a fourth-year graduate student in Clinical Psychology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Her research interests include evaluating psychosocial interventions for first-episode psychosis, as well as studying racial/ethnic disparities in schizophrenia treatment (e.g., differences in diagnostic rates, access to care, and treatment outcomes). Maku sees patients at both UNC and Duke, working with individuals with psychosis as well as individuals experiencing chronic emotion dysregulation (providing trauma-informed dialectical behavior therapy). She received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The College of William and Mary in 2017, where she worked in multiple labs studying schizotypy and emotional disorders in humans, as well as using animal models to study addiction and fear/anxiety in rats. Additionally, summer research experiences at the University of Iowa in 2015 and 2016 (studying patterns of learning/memory and predictors of postpartum depression) helped shape Maku’s research interests further. Outside of the lab, Maku loves to spend time dancing, eating, running (this is best described as a love/hate relationship), and taking long naps with her cat Ollie. ​
