Undergraduate Student
About
I am an undergraduate student at Boston University’s Sargent College with a major in Human Physiology. I plan to attend medical school after my gap year with the goal of pursuing a career as an Emergency Medicine physician. I am interested in learning more about how we can improve treatments for brain disorders, beginning with the assessment of language processing and memory. Currently, I am working under Marissa as part of a research team focused on understanding and improving treatment for bilingual individuals with aphasia and dementia. I enjoy interacting with the diverse group of participants in our lab, and I hope the skills and experiences I gain through this work will support my future career in medicine!
Research Interests
