Latest Stories from Enhance Science
Cecilia Hinojosa shares her journey as a researcher
Cecilia Hinojosa’s passion for psychology was sparked by an unlikely interest as a teen—a fascination with why people become serial killers. But it was her desire to learn more about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans that ultimately led her to become a researcher.
In the latest episodes of the “Become A Researcher” series, Hinojosa, PhD, shares what shaped her as a scientist, how she persisted through feelings of self-doubt as a doctoral student and what she currently does as a postdoctoral researcher with the Grady Trauma Project.
“It is exciting to see my story,” she said. “But it also places me in a very vulnerable spot that I am learning to embrace. As long as my story helps inspire one person, it is all worth it.”
