Malorie Watson, MA (she/her/hers) is a second-year student in the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at Fordham University. She received her BA in Psychology from Kent State University in 2012 and her MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis in 2015. Her experiences along with her research and clinical interests are quite varied but are primarily related to neuropsychology and forensic psychology. Over the years Malorie has worked in several clinical settings with people of all ages and with a variety of diagnoses; she also had the opportunity to assist with cognitive baseline testing and concussion protocol for the Indianapolis Colts. Prior to attending Fordham, she was a Clinical Research Specialist at the Indiana University School of Medicine on a project examining the effects of cognitive and physical training on cognition in older adults with memory concerns. Currently, Malorie is an extern at a site where she conducts assessments with incarcerated individuals with severe mental illness coming off of Rikers Island for the purpose of alternative to incarceration or community reentry assistance services. Her research interests include feigned cognitive impairment, the neural correlates of feigning in incarcerated individuals, validity of neuropsychological and forensic assessment instruments with special populations (i.e., adults with ID), TBI among incarcerated individuals, sport related TBI, the association between sleep and cognition, and age-related cognitive decline. Malorie went through multiple PhD application cycles and understands how challenging the entire process can be and how mentorship can help someone navigate the challenges. She believes that she is where she is today thanks to the support and guidance generously provided by several mentors and she is excited to pay this forward to others!
