I am a postdoctoral research associate with the Center for Brain Plasticity. I earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Illinois in 2018 and have cultivated an interdisciplinary program of research that investigates the relationship between physical health factors- including aerobic fitness, body composition, and nutrition- and hippocampal function throughout the lifespan. To explore these relationships, I utilize multiple methods, including behavioral, eye-tracking, physiological, and structural neuroimaging techniques.
