Lauren Thompson
Welcome to my Portfolio
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California dual majoring in Psychology and Public Relations/Advertising. I have a strong interest in public health, research, and science-based communication. My goal is to combine psychology, neuroscience, and public health research with clear, accessible, and ethical communication that helps research reach the right audiences.
I have experience working in collaborative research and communications environments, including participation in a student-run PR firm, creating media kits, and developing science-backed promotional materials. I enjoy translating complex topics in psychology, neuroscience, statistics, and public health into messaging that feels personal, understandable, and grounded in evidence.
I have performed well in statistics classes and worked on data analysis, including biomedical and health data. I am especially interested in supporting research through participant recruitment, study promotion, research assistance, and communication strategies for labs and public health programs and funding.
I plan to apply for a Master of Public Health (MPH) and am deeply passionate about advancing clinical psychology and neuroscience research, funding, and public understanding. I am eager to contribute to research teams that value scientific rigorous communication.
