I recently received a bachelors of arts in Psychology and a minor in neuroscience from the University of Connecticut. My honors thesis centered on the novelty and familiarity preferences of children with autism. Currently, I am the family coordinator for the infant sibling project which is a longitudinal collaborative study between children’s hospital and Boston University. This study focuses on the development of infant siblings of children who are affected with autism and language delays and are therefore at a higher risk of developing these disorders themselves.
