Norma Garza

Norma Garza is a doctoral student in experimental psychology at The University of Texas at Arlington. She recently earned her Master's of Science in the same field and from the same university. She also holds a Bachelor's of Science in psychology from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Her research focuses on attitudes toward immigrants and immigrant's mental/physical health outcomes. As an immigrant herself, she understands many of the prejudices and hardships immigrants go through and how that can affect their mental/physical health. This is why it is her career goal to influence policy for this, often times, vulnerable population through evidence-based research.
