Julie Pehlert, Nursing Honors Student
I am currently a junior undergraduate nursing student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am unsure what specialty I’d like to go into after graduation, but I am interested in Women’s Health and ED nursing.
I am interested in assisting Dr. Briere with her research project examining the impacts of maternal sleep loss on the composition of breast milk produced. I would like to analyze how sleep loss affects a particular component of breast milk, such as caloric content or cortisol levels.
