Ariayana Harrell
I am an incoming first-year Sociology Ph.D. student and a Population Health Sciences Trainee at the CPC. My research focuses on the influence of social surroundings and interactions on physiological health across the life course. I obtained my undergraduate degrees in Psychology (B.S.) and Sociology, with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2023. Previously, I worked as a postbaccalaureate fellow in the Epidemiology Branch at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, where I was part of the Puberty and Cancer research group before coming back to UNC as a graduate student.
