I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Division of Cognitive and Motor Aging.

My research interests primarily focus on cognitive function across the lifespan, with a particular interest in the relationship between working memory and long-term memory. I use behavioral methods, neuroimaging, and eye-tracking to answer questions about human cognition. I’m also interested in science communication.

I completed my PhD in Cognitive and Comparative Psychology at the City University of New York, Graduate Center and graduated from the University of Rochester with a B.S./B.A. in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics.
