I am a motivated researcher and data scientist with 8+ years of hands-on experience collecting and analyzing data for virtual reality, behavioral, and neuroimaging research studies.

I completed my PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in December 2023. During my training I conducted research with Marc Coutanche at the Learning Research and Development Center. During my graduate studies, I completed a certificate as part of the Center for Neural Basis of Cognition, a joint program between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.

Prior to attending graduate school, I developed my passion for research through working with Natasha Tokowicz in the PLUM Lab and Jana Iverson in the Infant Communication Lab at the University of Pittsburgh.

I currently live in Chicago, IL.
