Jaelin Lai-Yates

Research Assistant

Jaelin is a rising second year student at UCLA majoring in Psychology with the intention of double majoring in Business Economics. After graduation, Jaelin plans to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and ultimately, a career that combines both psychology and business. Jaelin is particularly interested in the interactions of the self, parent, and peer relationships and hopes to explore the parent and child dyad as an assistant in the BABLab. Outside of academics, Jaelin enjoys creating new mixes of matcha lattes (She recommends adding grass jelly or cinnamon), performing imaginary concerts to friends through dance and song, as well as discovering epiphanies and “aha” moments that challenge her. She is also a passionate boba lover and even worked at MeetFresh during her freshman year!
