I’m a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD candidate advised by Emily Finn at Dartmouth College. I work in the Functional Imaging and Naturalistic Neuroscience Lab.

Using a combination of neuroimaging and behavioral methods, I’m interested in how we integrate incoming information with existent knowledge and how this may differ meaningfully at the individual level. Currently, I am funded by an F31 NRSA Fellowship. I was previously supported by an NSF GRFP. I got my Bachelor’s from the University of Chicago where I completed my thesis with Daniel Casasanto and worked with Christopher Gomez and in the Awh-Vogel Lab. I then worked as a lab manager/research assistant at Stanford in Josef Parvizi’s lab.

I also am interested in science communication and public education. Prior to graduate school, I did some medical editing and informally worked in classrooms (specifically, Pre-K and 12th grade, so I got both crazy ends of the K-12 system). Most recently, I’ve been designing and teaching extended learning classes which I’ve been really enjoying!
