Isabel Rodden

Isabel graduated from Williams College in 2024 with a B.A. in psychology. At Williams, she worked in a developmental psychology lab examining children’s cognition and learning and completed an honors thesis project investigating the mechanism underlying the math anxiety-performance impairment using eye-tracking (ET) data. Outside of school, Isabel worked at the University of Washington Autism Center as a clinical intern at their summer treatment program for kids with ASD and/or ADHD and as a research intern on their Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) team. She also volunteered with children with different developmental conditions through Seattle Children’s Hospital and interned at the Yale Child Study Center in the Before and After Baby Lab (BABL), which studies the neuroplasticity that emerges during pregnancy, parenthood, and substance use disorders. Currently, Isabel is a Sara S. Sparrow Fellow in the McPartland lab and hopes to pursue developmental behavioral pediatrics or child psychiatry later in life.
