As a scientist, I'm passionate about preparing children of all backgrounds to succeed and meet their cognitive potential. Broadly, my research interests involve the effects of early adversity and chronic stress on neurocognitive development with the intent on improving long-term cognitive and academic outcomes for underserved populations. I intend to pursue a career in Education Policy.​

 

Outside of my research, I stay active in my community. As a survivor of dating violence, I have become a passionate advocate for dating and domestic violence prevention. In my work as Miss Boston I have traveled around the state sharing my story and educational resources to teens and young adults. I have made local, state, and national partnerships. In June I will compete for the title of Miss Massachusetts. Visit my Miss Boston page to learn more about the work I'm doing, and how you can help!

 

Additionally I am passionate about student welfare. Through this site and my social media platforms I aim to help young women in STEM forge their way through academia. I also serve as the President of the Graduate Student Organization where I have pushed for financial and COVID-19 supports for graduate students.
