Graduate Student, Cognitive Neuroscience

Bio

I graduated from Marquette University in 2016 and joined the REMEDY group as an affiliate member (with primary membership in the Mattfeld lab) in 2020. My research is centered on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying negative overgeneralization in children and adolescents with anxiety, and includes a broader interest in how neural circuits go awry, thereby affecting emotion control and memory. The long-term goal is to bridge neuroscience and clinical approaches to detect early disruptions in neurodevelopment that could contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders.
