Curriculum Vitae

I am a first-year doctoral student in the Behavioral Neuroscience PhD program. The core of my research interests surrounds chronic pain disorders and discovering better treatment interventions.

I began my research journey at Roanoke College under the training of Dr. David Nichols. In the lab, we studied the effects of discomfort on participants while they performed a working memory task. We also utilized eye tracking software to determine if there were quantitative differences between mouse clicking and eye position.

When I am not in the lab I can be found reading, taking care of various houseplants, or spending time with loved ones.
