Hi my name is Hannah Burrows! I am a third year Psychology (Science) major at Queen’s University with a passion for developmental psychology and neuroscience. I am excited to assist with the research at add*ed as I believe change is required to further accommodate and ameliorate our special educational system for all students. In the future I hope to conduct my own psychological research in psychology aimed at improving learning and equity in education.

Hanna Petterson

My name is Hannah and I am a third year student studying psychology and health studies at Queens University. I currently work as a counsellor for kids with disabilities and work to create a safe and fun environment that is inclusive. After my degree I hope to go into education and teaching persons with disabilities. Working with the Add*Ed research group will be an exciting chance for me to learn more about the field in which I hope to later become a part of and hopefully bring about changes in inclusivity.
