I am interested in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience, with a focus on declarative memory. Using behavioral measures, ERP, fMRI and eye movement recordings, I aim to investigate the development of memory from infancy through childhood and into adulthood. I am especially interested in the development of memory for contextual information (like memory for temporal order), and developments in the neural substrates that support this type of memory.

My research interests lie within the field of developmental cognitive science. Within this domain, I seek to understand more about memory, metamemory, and models of attention. Questions surrounding the developmental trajectory of these fundamental cognitive aptitudes drive my research pursuits. I am currently heading up a developmental fMRI study examining the neural correlates associated with recollection and familiarity.

I investigate the development of memory and associated high-level cognitive processes across childhood. I am especially interested in using behavioral and neuroimaging methods to elucidate the relationship between remembering one's past and envisioning one's future, and how knowledge about this topic might be used to help individuals with deficits in future-oriented thought processes.

My research involves the development of episodic memory and metamemory, and the neural correlates of typical and atypical development.

My interests lie within the areas of memory and language development. I am currently investigating episodic memory in young children. After graduation, I hope to continue my research and education in graduate school.

Originally from Boston, I moved to Davis after graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Cognitive and Brain Science and a minor in Communications at Tufts University. My primary research interests involve how media stimuli influence learning, attention, memory, and behavior.

I graduated with honors from Wellesley College in May of 2011, where I completed a B.A. in Neuroscience. My previous research has focused on imagination and cognition in preschool aged children, as well as the brain development of adolescents exposed to specific childhood traumas.
