Pia Sellery

International Advisory Council

Pia Sellery is about to finish her third and final year at the University of Southern California where she is majoring in psychology. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Pia has always been passionate about mental health and advocating for open communication around mental well-being.

Pia is a co-founder of "Times I Got Wrecked", a website that shares women's stories about their experiences in high school. She currently works at the Endocrinology of Social Ties Lab, or NEST, which studies family relationships between first time parents and their child. She mainly focuses on the MRI aspect of the study investigating how first time fathers' brains change during the progression into fatherhood. Other than psychology, Pia is fascinated by neuroscience and hopes to continue working with MRI imaging later in her educational career.

Graduating Summa Cum Laude and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Pia is hoping to continue her education in psychology, women studies, and policy evaluation.
