About

Hi there! I’m a first-year Neurosciences PhD student at Stanford University interested in understanding the neural basis of cognition and how it is implicated in individuals with neurological disorders, psychiatric disorders and brain cancer.

I received my B.A. in Cognitive Science and Mathematics, with minors in Neuroscience and Computer Science, from Occidental College in 2025. While in undergrad, I worked with Dan Snowden Ifft, John Kolassa, Carmel Levitan and Aysha Motala, Justin Li, and Satish Nair on projects spanning physics, statistics, cognitive science, computer science, and computational neuroscience.

Passionate about understanding individual differences in cognition and the application of this understanding to the real world, my research interests extend beyond the bounds of neuroscience. I recently joined the board of Milton Marks Family Camp (MMFC) to study psychosocial coping in families affected by brain cancer and I am working with Steven Michael Crane to explore mechanisms of human flourishing and social connection.

Outside of research, I enjoy teaching, coffee, knitting, and spending time outdoors. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat - I’m always happy to help!
