B.A., Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 2010.
Dual PhD, Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience. Expected graduation: 2020
Research Interests: I’m interested in examining the effects of cannabis on emotion and cognition in different populations, including individuals with mood disorders, alcohol dependence, and senior citizens. Along these lines, I’m currently working on neuroimaging projects that examine the interactive effects of cannabis and/or tobacco on risk taking-related neurocircuitry in alcohol-dependent individuals.
About Me: I am a graduate student at CUChange. Prior to graduate school, I was a research assistant and manager of a neurology lab at Stanford University School of Medicine. There, I collected and analyzed fMRI data on cognitive function in people with Parkinson’s disease. I’m now pursuing a dual-degree in clinical psychology and neuroscience, and my research is at the intersection of these fields. I love exploring the world as much as I love exploring the brain, and have made it to five continents so far.
