I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BS in Psychology in 2016. There, I worked in Dr. Jennifer McDermott’s lab studying emotional regulation and cognitive development. I completed a senior thesis on response monitoring and attentional problems in children. I now work as the lab manager in the Child Cognition Lab, where I work on projects examining how children learn about complex biological concepts like natural selection, as well as studying how they reason about an object’s function.
