PhD in Psychology

Bridget Lewis, 2015

Bridget Lewis

Bridget received her BS in Psychology at Virginia Tech with the class of 2010, earned her Masters at Mason in 2012 and is now a student in the PhD program. 

She currently works as a member of Dr. Carryl Baldwin's Auditory Research Group (including the Mason Transportation Institute), and used to work as organizer for the Distractions N' Driving program where her team received a governor's award and a grant.  Her current interests are in driving and transportation as integral parts of everyday life, as well as improving transportation safety and efficiency.
