Katie Teitelbaum '19

(profiled in 2019) Katie Teitelbaum ’19 is a current senior with an interdisciplinary BA in Cognitive Human-Centered Design-- she has majors in Cognitive Science and Graphic Design and minors in Computer Science and Chinese. She particularly enjoys human- computer interaction, and has done research on memory with Professor Hupbach. Katie loves Cog Sci because it is a mix of many fields that interest her: “Cognitive science is useful for every job. Learning cognitive science can help you better understand those around you so you can understand how to improve or change people’s behavior using a certain technique.” She hopes to work as a user experience (UX) designer in the medical field. “I'd like to use neurofeedback to improve patients' digital experiences in hospitals and/or develop the user-interfaces for academic software for children with neurologic disabilities.”
