About Anna
Anna Lindstrom earned a B.A. in Psychology from the Miami University of Ohio, as well as a minor in Art Therapy and an Outdoor Leadership Certificate. There, she worked as a research assistant in the Mechanisms Affecting Relationships, Stress, and Health (MARSH) lab on multiple projects associated with social support, partner responsiveness, and digital ghosting motivations. Additionally, Anna worked as a Crisis Consultant for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. After graduation, she became a Registered Behavioral Technician in Littleton, CO and assisted in clinical, administrative, and research tasks for the company. Anna’s research interests focus on romantic relationships and how small actions (in regards to cultural backgrounds, physical outdoor activity, and love) create lasting effects on a partner’s overall health. In her free time, Anna can be found skiing, paddle boarding, reading, or spending time with friends and family.
