Jessica Trach is originally from Ontario where she received her BA in psychology from the University of Western Ontario. She loves living in Vancouver for amazing sushi restaurants and being able to visit the Vancouver Aquarium whenever she wants. She wants to be a school psychologist because you get to do something different every day – working with students, teachers, and families, and engaging in meaningful research projects. There is lots of variety and always something new to learn! Jessica plans to pursue her PhD in school psychology at UBC, and then see where life takes her. The best thing about studying school psychology at UBC is the friends she’s made through the program. Her research interests include peer group processes and preventing bullying and violence in schools.
