I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Developmental Science program. Prior to joining the BEE Lab at BU, I led various longitudinal developmental studies at Columbia University and Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, and earned an MS in Neuroscience and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a BA in Cognitive Science from Pomona College.

My interests lie in utilizing physiological measures, specifically EEG, to understand the roles of pre- and postnatal environment, adversity, and stress on brain and cognitive development, as well as potential interactions of bilingualism on these developmental trajectories, in order to optimize development and improve outcomes for children and families.
