I am currently a LEND fellow at the UCEDD. In my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant in Dr.Eigsti’s developmental cognitive neuroscience lab where I conducted my honors thesis on the long term outcomes of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I was the President of the UConn Psi Chi chapter, the international honor society in psychology, and was a committee chair at the UConn Women’s Center where I facilitated meetings centered on gender equity.

I enjoy running, hiking, and traveling.
