About Georgia Steigerwald

Hi! I am a senior at Harvard studying Psychology and Economics. I am currently pursuing full-time roles in business and consulting.For the past two years I have been working in psychology labs as a research assistant. I started my research in Harvard’s Moral Psychology Research Lab with Dr. Fiery Cushman pursuing projects in thought suppression, learning, and decision-making, culminating in my senior thesis entitled “How Do We Learn? Understanding Differences in Social and Individual Learning Between Urban and Rural Populations.” Recently, I have pivoted towards clinical psychology and have begun working in the Gunderson Personality Disorders Institute at McLean Hospital where I’ve been working on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and it’s interplay with eating disorders, substance use disorders, and loneliness.Before that, I tried my hand at consulting with Athena Global Partners in Philadelphia where I had the pleasure to work on a number of national campaigns, local activations, a major sports host-team bid, and on individual client projects.In Fall 2020, I took a semester long leave of absence from Harvard to work in Congressional Communications, where I was able to dive deeper into strategic political communications. From there, I worked with two start-ups to grow their social media presence and attract new leads and positive attention.On campus, I can often be found leading Harvard\'s Model UN Team, organizing Model UN and Model Congress Conferences in Boston and abroad, writing for one of Harvard\'s student publications, or trying to catch up on sleep.Outside of school, I love mentoring, scuba diving, practicing yoga, and traveling.You can reach me at g••••••••@gmail.com!
