This summer, Chinmayi Karthik, a student at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, worked with associate professor Debora Goldberg on research focused on behavioral health.

Chinmayi completed a literature and policy review examining clinical supervision of behavioral health trainees working in community mental health settings.

We were especially impressed by the initiative, curiosity, and dedication Chinmayi brought to this work so early in her academic journey. It was a pleasure having her work with us this summer, and we wish her continued success as she begins her senior year!
