Biografía Personal

Adelia “Ada” Kamenetskiy is a doctoral student in the Clinical Science Ph.D. program and a member of the Mental Health Interventions and Novel Therapeutics (MINT) Lab at Florida International University. She received her Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Psychology with minors in Human Development and Neuroscience from the University of Maryland. After graduating, she worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the “Emotion Project” at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), managing a large-scale longitudinal study that investigated neural, physiological, behavioral, and environmental markers related to the development of anxiety disorders and emotion processing in children. Ada’s research interests focus on how parental, peer, and school accommodations may shape the trajectory of anxiety disorders and intervention outcomes in young children. She aims to evaluate, advance, and disseminate cost-effective and culturally sensitive treatments and expand the accessibility of mental health care for childhood anxiety.
