About Kelsey
Kelsey Nogg earned her BA in psychology from Occidental College and her MA in psychology from San Diego State University. Her background is in both qualitative and quantitative behavioral health research, through which she has examined psychosocial factors related to health behavior change among LGBTQ+ and racial/ethnic minoritized groups. She is passionate about scientific advocacy and addressing health disparities. Her thesis at San Diego State University examined motivation for physical activity, and she later extended this work to examine how interpersonal factors relate to the same constructs within the parent-child dyad. Kelsey’s dissertation in the Healthy Couples Lab focuses on the experiences of same-sex couples during the transition to parenthood, particularly as they relate to stress, health, and relationship functioning. She is seeing patients in integrated primary care within academic medical and community health settings. In her free time, Kelsey enjoys cooking, checking out new restaurants, live music, and spending time at the parks in Denver.
