Biography

As a neuroscience and behavior major at Vassar College, I realized I was as passionate about digitally reconstructing mouse neurons as I was about working one-on-one with preschoolers in the on-campus nursery. I went on to intern at a neuroimaging research laboratory, where I saw the power and potential of brain imaging technology to conduct impact-oriented research. As a PhD candidate at Cambridge’s MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, I will explore the neural mechanisms underlying various cognitive and behavioral profiles in a heterogeneous group of children with learning-related difficulties. Ultimately, I aim to model the dynamic relationships between neural, behavioral, and cognitive development, capturing nuanced individual differences to inform evidence-based strategies that support children with learning challenges. In my free time, I enjoy being outside and playing basketball and rugby. I am honored to be part of the Gates Cambridge community and excited to learn from scholars from around the world.
