Mia Miranda

I am a 2023 Baldwin who graduated with a B.A. in Psychology and English. As an undergraduate, I worked in various research capacities to advocate for women and children's rights and mental health. At Duke, I worked in a global mental health lab, piloting family-strengthening interventions for women and children in North Carolina and across multiple sites in Kenya. I also developed independent research on the sexual and reproductive health of Latina women in Durham. I presented this research at the 2023 United Nations Conference on the Status of Women. I am currently living in DC and working under Dr. Nathan Fox and Dr. Brenda Jones Harden as a faculty research assistant in the Child Development Lab. Here, I work on the national Healthy Brain Child Development Study, the largest longitudinal study of early child development in the United States (https://hbcdstudy.org/). I hope to continue advocating for women and children through graduate studies in psychology or law.
