“Translational research in the behavioral and social sciences addresses how basic behavioral processes inform the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and delivery of services for mental illness, and, conversely, how knowledge of mental illness increases our understanding of basic behavioral processes.”

Krystal Ortiz, BA

I graduated from Stony Brook University in December 2008. I began working with FTRG in early 2007 as an undergraduate research assistant coder for the Berkeley Puppet Interview (BPI). As an undergraduate I was offered a paid position with the lab to supervise other BPI coders. Since then I have been given the opportunity to learn other coding systems, including the Rapid Marital Interaction Coding System (RMICS). All of my duties revolve around coding. In my spare time I enjoy being a member of the Stony Brook Gospel Choir, catching up on my new favorite TV show Bones, and working with young children at my church. I hope to eventually obtain an MSW and work with foster children.
