Hi, my name is Alanna Shea. I loved going to Teatown Camp as a kid and participating in eel research in partnership with Teatown and the DEC while at Hendrick Hudson High School. I obtained a BA from Brandeis University, a Post-Baccalaureate degree in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design at UC Berkeley, and an MA in Philosophy from the CUNY Graduate Center. This year, I plan to complete a MS in Psychology of the Arts, Neuroaesthetics, and Creativity at the University of London. I will be studying how the brain responds to art, beauty, and overall perception. I find that research in this field can be further supported by ecological and evolutionary research. I also love flowers and catching frogs!
