B.A. 2004 Psychology, University of California, Berkeley

As a Research Assistant for the STAART Child and Family Project, I am primarily responsible for conducting cognitive, diagnostic, and language assessments of children.

My undergraduate work at UC Berkeley included coursework primarily in developmental psychology and phonetics. I worked in a lab conducting research on language learning and grammatical structures. In addition, I worked at an Early Intervention program with young children diagnosed with Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders. This combination of experiences has influenced my interest in child development and language learning, specifically developmental disorders affecting language acquisition. In the future, I plan to pursue graduate work in the field of Speech-Language Pathology.
