Rasheda Haughbrook

Dr. Rasheda Haughbrook is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University. She obtained her PhD and MS in Developmental Psychology from Florida State University; Dr. Haughbrook also completed her MS in Molecular Cell Biology and dual degrees in Psychology and Biology from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University. Her research interests examine the intersection of the environment, genetics, and overall context related to our developmental outcomes, like academic achievement, physical health, and mental health. She is also interested in exploring novel statistical modeling to measure growth, change, and development in educational achievement and public health outcomes, emphasizing historically understudied populations. I am interested in translative research that improves overall growth and development. Dr. Haughbrook believes understanding the complex relationship between education and health edges us closer to improved public health outcomes due to biological and environmental factors.
