My name is Payton Comazzetto and I am a 4th year Interdisciplinary Studies student with a concentration in Adventure Therapy. I started my research journey as an assistant on a mindfulness project with Dr. Catherine Ortner. Since then, I have worked multiple studies with Will Garrett-Petts and Sukh Heer Matonovich, and am currently looking at how one’s exercise motivations correlate to the landscape they run or walk in with Dr. Tracy Penny Light. Getting involved in research has been the most fulfilling and rewarding aspect of my degree. It has allowed me to get hands-on experience outside the classroom and discover what I am truly passionate about. I encourage everyone to get involved as soon as they can!
