Jacqueline Leete

I grew up in Fairfield, Iowa. My undergraduate summer research internship at Brown University in Dr. Mary Carskadon’s sleep lab sparked my interest in the field of sleep research. After graduating from Wesleyan University where I studied Neuroscience and Behavior, I was awarded a two-year post-baccalaureate research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD under the mentorship of Dr. Jessica Gill, where I became interested in clinical psychology. At NIH, I focused on blood-based biomarker research related to insomnia, sleep, and traumatic brain injury.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology at UA in the Health Psychology minor. I am working under Dr. Daniel Taylor's mentorship focusing on insomnia research.
