About

My name is Ummehani. My Polygence project is about ‘The Impact of Family Dynamics on Eating Disorders’. This topic is very close to my heart and I deeply care about the subject because of my personal experiences. With the help from my Polygence Mentor I have this unique opportunity to research this topic to great depths. My research work has been published by ‘[Curieux Academic Journal](https://www.curieuxacademicjournal.com/)’. I am grateful to the team at the journal for recognizing my work. I am also volunteering with the ‘[Eating Disorder Resource Cente](https://edrcsv.org/)r’ education initiative to further deepen practical understanding of my research topic. Going forward I hope to continue to engage and contribute to community, specifically in the area of psychological disorders and public health in general.
