Hannah Mullin, MSW

I'm a Clinical Research Specialist in the Behavioral Oncology Laboratory. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University Indianapolis in 2024. Prior to IU Indianapolis, I earned my B.S. in Psychological Sciences from Purdue University. My research interests include examining how psychological and social work theories intersect and inform individual- and community-level interventions, as well as the psychosocial effects of chronic illness on patients and their caregivers through dyadic studies. Outside of the lab, I enjoy exploring Indianapolis, picking up new hobbies, and spending quality time with my two dogs. 

Marcia Burns

I'm completing my doctoral internship at the Indiana University School of Medicine on the Adult Health track. Prior to IU Indianapolis, I earned my B.S. in Psychology and Neuroscience from The Ohio State University. My research interests include investigating predictors of quality of life and healthcare service use amongst cancer patients, particularly within the geriatric population. I previously served as the Assistant Director of the IU Indianapolis Clinical Psychology Mental Health Center, our program's in-house training clinic, and was recognized by IU Indianapolis clinical faculty as the recipient of the 2026 Clinical Excellence award. Due to my clinical interests in working with older adults with chronic or terminal health conditions, I am pursuing a career in geropsychology and palliative care. Outside of the lab, I enjoy cycling, attempting to keep my houseplants alive, and traveling for live music.

Stella Snyder

I am an NIH/National Cancer Institute F31 fellow and fifth-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at Indiana University (IU) Indianapolis. Under the mentorship of Dr. Catherine Mosher, my research focuses on fear of cancer recurrence, cancer-related financial toxicity, and psychosocial interventions for people with cancer and their caregivers. My F31-supported research examines associations between intervention skill practice and changes in fear of cancer recurrence among breast cancer survivors. Previously, I was supported by an NCI-funded T32 fellowship in interdisciplinary cancer prevention and control.

My clinical training has included psycho-oncology work with adults at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and with children and adolescents at Riley Hospital for Children, as well as palliative care with Veterans and their families at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center. I have also provided outpatient psychotherapy and conducted psychological assessments for ADHD and learning disabilities through the IU Indianapolis Clinical Psychology Mental Health Center. Broadly, my clinical interests center on psycho-oncology, palliative care, and improving psychological adjustment to cancer and other serious illnesses.

I earned my M.S. in Clinical Psychology from IU Indianapolis, my M.S. in Biology from Purdue University Fort Wayne, and my B.S. in Biology from the University of Saint Francis. In 2026, I received the IU Indianapolis Graduate Chancellor’s Scholar Award and the Department of Psychology’s Research Excellence Award. Outside of my academic and clinical work, I enjoy yoga, hiking with my dog, and gardening.

Megan Noonan

I’m a third-year student in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at IUI. Prior to IUI, I earned my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Iowa. My research interests include understanding psychological processes that promote positive adaptation and quality of life among individuals with cancer and their family caregivers. I am particularly interested in processes targeted by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based action, and how they relate to psychological, physical, existential, and biological aspects of well-being. I am currently supported by an NCI-funded T32 fellowship in interdisciplinary cancer prevention and control. Outside of the lab, I enjoy decorating my home, practicing yoga, and spending time in nature.

Katie Edel

I’m a first-year student in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at IU Indianapolis. Prior to joining the lab, I earned my B.S. in Neuroscience from Indiana University Bloomington with a minor in Psychology. My research interests focus on how patient–family relationships shape psychosocial adjustment, symptom management, and quality of life in cancer and other medical populations. I am particularly interested in how individual processes—including coping, emotion regulation, and executive functioning—interact with family dynamics to influence responses to stress and adversity, contribute to risk or resilience, and inform family-focused interventions. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, practicing yoga, and spending time with my golden retriever, Stevie!
