Gabrielle Armstrong

Gabrielle Armstrong (CV) is a second-year student in the Clinical Psychology program at Ole Miss. Gabrielle graduated from Ole Miss in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. While at Ole Miss, she conducted her Honors Thesis on the interaction between anxiety sensitivity and sleep disturbance in relation to alcohol use among adolescents. Before returning to Ole Miss, Gabrielle held a post-baccalaureate Research Coordinator position at Baylor College of Medicine in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Eric Storch in Houston, Texas. In this role, Gabrielle was an influential contributor across two ongoing, large-scale OCD-genotyping studies, a longitudinal study tracking mental health symptoms among youth in Texas to facilitate treatment, and the OCD clinic where she was responsible for conducting supervised, clinician-administered assessments with new patients presenting for care. Gabrielle’s research interests include examining the causality of co-morbid substance use and internalizing psychopathology within psychosocial and contextual factors, particularly among historically excluded groups.
