B.A. 2007 Psychology, Boston University

As a research assistant on the Infant Sibling Project, my primary responsibilities include implementing experiments involving eye-tracking and event related potentials and administering standardized cognitive assessments.

My undergraduate work centered on developmental psychology, which included work at the Boston University Twin Project studying cognitive and behavioral differences in twins, an internship at the Harvard University Laboratory for Developmental Studies investigating infants understanding of cohesion, and a directed study with Dr. Tager-Flusberg examining infants at high-risk for autism spectrum disorders. In the future, I would like to continue to graduate school to study autism and the relationship between genes, the brain and behavior.
