I am a Developmental Science doctoral student. I graduated from Bucknell University in 2011 with a degree in international relations and a French minor. I am interested in the development of physiological stress systems and the brain in early childhood. Right now I am working on a project assessing how socioeconomic status relates to preschoolers’ executive functioning using behavioral and neural measures. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, biking, and reading.
