I'm Kaitlyn Deem (she/her) and I am in my 4th year as an undergraduate pursuing a degree in the field cognitive psychology. My dream is to conduct novel research on neurodiversity throughout child development for use in medical and academic institutions. Besides learning, my passions revolve around crafting, gardening, collecting rocks and exploring nature. I am particularly interested in wildlife conservation and enjoy participating in surveying excursions throughout California and Nevada. My favorite aspects about UC Davis and the Nest are the abundant opportunities available to meet new people and build community.
