Stella Biehl

Stella Biehl is a rising senior at Colorado College majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Studio Art. Her interests lie in women’s health, reproductive health, pediatrics, and the intersection between art and mental health. In her past studies, she has researched the effects of bipolar disorder on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the efficacy of inpatient mental health treatment for communities of color.

This summer, Stella worked with Dr. Reuben Robbins and his team on developing Neuroscreen, a tablet app that tests for neurocognitive impairment in adolescents who were perinatally infected with HIV. This project aims to increase accessibility to HIV treatment in low and middle-income countries. Stella created tutorial videos in many different languages that participants will watch prior to taking the tests. She also completed an abstract that investigated the relationship between past tablet usage and Neuroscreen test performance.

Stella is considering a career in pediatrics, obstetrics, or art therapy. She is excited to apply everything she learned from the GMHP internship to her future endeavors.
