B.A. Psychology, Rutgers University

I am a currently pursuing a Psychology Ph.D. in Human Development at Boston University. I am interested in the very early development of ASD and am working with the Infant Sibling Project to study communication and social behaviors in infants at risk for ASD. Outside of the LDCN, I am working with Dr. Patricia Ganea looking at language abilities in typically developing toddlers. I will be spending the coming year in Ireland, where I hope to work closely with children with ASD.

As an undergraduate at Rutgers University, I focused my studies on psychology and mathematics. While there, I looked at numeric ability in both infants and college students, and I completed an honors thesis my senior year that investigated infants' perception of quantity. Although I have been interested in ASD since working at special education program during high school, I did not actively pursue this interest I took an honors seminar on ASD my senior year of college. In this class, I became fascinated by the early development of ASD and was ultimately led to the Infant Sibling Project.
