Kayla Nitka

My name is Kayla Nitka, and I am a senior Psychology major at the University of Pittsburgh with a minor in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Some hobbies of mine include: playing field hockey, snowboarding, and eating out a lot. I have particular research interests in mood disorders, such as Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety disorders, in addition to substance use disorders. Specifically, I hold a strong research interest in focusing on LGBTQIA+ populations. In the future, I hope to attain a PsyD in clinical psychology with a focus on these interests, and become a clinical therapist.
