What is PECC?

The Psychology Early Career Conference was developed with the goal of supporting undergraduates, master's, and PhD students who are interested in a career in research. Our conference is an opportunity for you to connect with collaborators from around the NorthEast region. Symposia, posters, and keynote speaker sessions are designed to enhance the skills and experiences of budding psychologists and foster their professional growth.

We hope that students and staff members alike will join us for an afternoon of exciting research presentations, discussion, and networking!

Kaitlyn M. Werner, PhD

University of Oregon

Kaitlyn M. Werner, PhD is an NIH Diversity Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oregon where she studies the motivational and affective mechanisms of goal pursuit and behaviour change. She completed her PhD in social, personality, and health psychology at Carleton University in Canada in 2019 and has since completed several competitive fellowships at the University of Toronto and University of Pennsylvania.

 

Kaitlyn will discuss her discovery of a passion for research and her unorthodox journey in pursuing unique career opportunities, such as developing a mentorship network and engaging in diverse research collaborations internationally. As a first-generation student, she aims to motivate future scientists, demonstrating that individuals from any background can achieve success by embracing their distinctiveness and forging a personal path in academia.
