ALEKHYA KALIDINDI

My name is Alekhya Kalidindi and I graduated in May 2019 with a psychology BS and a minor in business administration. During my time in the lab, I was able to work on coding a couple of videos using the TCFES scale and researched couple attachment pairings’ affect on conflict management. I was able to be the first author on a poster and presented at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology national conference. I am now a graduate student at TAMU Corpus Christi getting my MS in professional counseling. My hope is to one day work at the VA with PTSD patients.
