Kaylee McMillian is a graduate student in the Neuroscience program at Florida Atlantic University, working under the mentorship of Dr. Irem Korucu in the Self-Regulation, Early Experience, and Development (SEED) Lab. Her research interests focus on neural development and the factors that contribute to atypical developmental trajectories. She is particularly interested in how children’s environments influence brain and behavioral development and in identifying ways to support healthy growth and resilience in early childhood. Through her research, Kaylee aims to better understand the mechanisms linking early experiences to later outcomes and to contribute to interventions that promote positive developmental pathways for all children.
