Catalina and Chris Coultas

I was a psychology undergraduate student looking for a research assistant position to help for when I applied to graduate school. Found a position in an IO psych lab. When that lab was over, the researcher shared that if I wanted to be in another lab, she could set me up with another graduate student. I said yes. She split her RAs and passed us down to two different graduate students getting their PhDs. I happened to become my now husband’s research assistant, and that’s how we met. In the ten years since then, we got married, traveled the world (pre-pandemic), both finished graduate degrees from UCF, moved to Texas, and now have an amazing son. We just took him to the UCF campus to show him around for the first time during Christmas break!
