RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Gina served as a research assistant at the Sleep and Environmental Psychology Laboratory (SEPL) at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY) under Dr. Mindy Engle-Friedman from 2013 to 2016 and later as lab manager from 2015-2016. Her primary project, the Sleep Deprivation Study, investigated the effects of one night of total sleep deprivation on perception of task difficulty, heuristic use, and sociability in undergraduate students. She co-authored a manuscript in Sleep Science based on these findings.

Gina entered the Biobehavioral Health (BBH) program at Penn State in 2016 to work with Dr. Anne-Marie Chang in the Sleep, Health, and Genetics laboratory. During her time at Penn State, Gina has conducted both experimental and observational research. She served as project leader for the Sleep Restriction Study, which examined the impact of insufficient sleep on cognitive performance and other outcomes (findings published in Nature and Science of Sleep, Scientific Reports, PLoS One, and Psychosomatic Medicine). Her team has collaborated with a tech startup, ProActive Life DBA SleepSpace, on the SoundSleeping and Deep Sleep studies, which examined the impact of auditory stimulation on sleep quality and next-day cognitive performance. Soundsleeping has resulted in findings published in Sleep and Nature and Science of Sleep. She has also collaborated on the observational Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS; substudy PI Dr. Lauren Hale) with researchers at Stony Brook University examining the association of dimensions of sleep with emotional and physical health, resulting in manuscripts published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms, Chronobiology International, the British Journal of Nutrition, Nutrients, the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, the Journal of Adolescent Health, and the Journal of Adolescence. Gina graduated with her PhD in August 2021.

Gina currently works as a post-doctoral associate in the Program in Public Health at Stony Brook Medicine with Dr. Lauren Hale. She continues to work on Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, publishing manuscripts that have examined temporal associations between sleep and breakfast consumption (published in the International Journal of Obesity), sleep and caffeine consumption (published in Nutrients), and actigraphic sleep and mental health (in press at the Journal of Adolescent Health and the Journal of Adolescence) in adolescents. She is currently working on the Stony Brook University MEDiA study that examines associations of objectively measured screen time with emotional, cognitive, and physical wellbeing in adolescents. She is also continuing to build and maintain collaborations with researchers at Penn State, Columbia University, the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Southern California, and Emory University.

EDUCATION
Gina graduated summa cum laude from Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY) in 2015, obtaining a Master of Arts in General Psychology. She wrote her Master's thesis, "Changes in Perception and Reductions in Effort Following Total Sleep Deprivation," based on the findings from the Sleep Deprivation Study conducted in the Sleep and Environmental Psychology Laboratory at Baruch College.

Gina received her PhD in Biobehavioral Health (BBH) from Pennsylvania State University with a subplan of Neuroscience in August 2021. She received a graduate certificate in Translational Science from the Penn State College of Medicine in May 2019.
