Sophia Lopez is an undergraduate at UCLA majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Art History. She is a
sophomore and a member of the PEERS program. She has been a research assistant for Dr. Kenneth Subotnik at
the UCLA Aftercare Program since the Fall of 2022. There she assists in the clinical research of patients who
have recently experienced psychotic symptoms and works towards the lab’s goal of providing treatment and
cognitive training to help these patients re-enter the workforce and/or academic settings. Sophia contributes on
the Data Entry and Tester team where she collects data by administering cognitive tests and physical fitness
assessments to patients. She also assists in data entry and updating the Aftercare Program’s large information
database. Sophia would like to thank Dr. Subotnik and Emily McGraw for this opportunity to explore clinical
research and for their continued guidance throughout her time at Aftercare. She would also like to thank the
CARE Fellows Program for so kindly supporting her and her undergraduate research experience.
