CV

Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Human Brain and Cognition lab at the Travis Research Institute under Dr. Warren S. Brown. My research interests include hemisphere organization/lateralization, neuroplasticity, and social-cognitive functioning. Currently, I am working on a project involving individuals who underwent hemispherectomy. I am also investigating how undergraduate students learn and study research methods, statistics, and the pedagogy therein.
