Samantha Leo

Samantha received her BS in Psychology with a concentration in Forensics and a minor in Statistics from Coastal Carolina University in 2024. Her research interests are very broad. In her undergraduate career, she performed research in areas related to eyewitness memory, police use of force, and psychopathy, but her current interests lie in investigative interviewing, more specifically interrogations and intelligence-gathering, as well as deception detection. Most recently, though, Samantha has been interested in research surrounding the use and public knowledge of Miranda warnings.
