I have recently joined the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences as an Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa. 

Previously, I was a post-doctoral research associate in neuroscience at CalTech working with prof. John O'Doherty.  I received my PhD in Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences from Brown University with Prof. Michael J. Frank. Prior to that, I received an interdisciplinary MSc (Computer & Cognitive Sciences) working with Prof. Clay Holroyd at the University of Victoria, where I studied computer science and philosophy as an undergrad.

I am growing my lab.
If you are creative, curious, and motivated by the mysteries of the brain, please contact me.

I recently joined the University of Iowa's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences as a Research Intern and Lab Manager for the CCN Lab. 

I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Iowa in 2023. I am interested in exploring how psychiatric anxiety disorders, such as GAD, are reflected in decision-making behaviors. Additionally, I'm interested in furthering my understanding about the cognitive mechanisms behind impaired decision-making in individuals with mental health conditions, as well as the brain structures involved in these processes.
