Bethany MacDonald

Program Manager

I am passionate about scientific research on cognitive resilience and its impact on aging. I love working with my team towards a shared vision and finding innovative ways to solve real-world problems and elevate life quality for all. I mentor students in research methodologies and help lab members with their projects. I am enthusiastic about the future of research for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.

In my free time, I enjoy reading the 18 books I have checked out from the Ann Arbor library at a single time, writing poetry, and horseback riding. I'm learning how to cook and play the piano.
