Shay Braksator

Shay Braksator, BS (she/her) is a Research Coordinator for the Occupational Therapy Department. Shay obtained her BS in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh a semester early in December of 2022. As an undergraduate student, she previously worked in the Psychology Department as part of the Psychoneuroimmunology Lab. Since, she has become very familiar with the research process and is excited to branch out her research interests while in the OT Department. Shay’s previous research examined how daily stress impacts the immune systems of older adults. She hopes to apply this background to continue working with and for more vulnerable populations through research.
