About Me *

I am an Oberlin College fourth-year Neuroscience and Psychology major with a minor in Chemistry, from Seattle, Washington. I am passionate about understanding the psychological and neurological processes that shape human behavior, identity, and social interaction. My academic work in psychology and neuroscience, along with hands-on research experience, has deepened my interest in how cognitive and social processes influence human development and behavior.

Through research in the Verosky Lab and independent academic projects, I have developed skills in data collection, research design, statistical analysis, and scientific literature review. My work has explored topics including the use of neuropsychological methods to explore social cognition and recognition, neurotransmitter systems in timing behavior, and developmental outcomes across diverse social environments.

In addition to research, my experiences in healthcare and community settings have strengthened my ability to work collaboratively, communicate thoughtfully, and approach complex problems with both analytical rigor and empathy. I value careful attention to detail, ethical research practices, and contributing to environments that support learning, curiosity, and discovery.
