I graduated from Boston University in May 2023 with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience. When it opened in spring 2022 (# FirstUndergrad), I joined Dr. Heidi Meyer's lab and worked on projects related to sex and age differences in safety learning. Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, I led a project investigating the role of environmental enrichment during adolescence in fear discrimination and safety learning.
After graduation, I joined the Brain, Behavior, and Cognition PhD program. My projects and interests in the Meyer Lab are centered around safety learning and fear extinction, specifically how they are influenced by early life experiences and the circuitry involved.
Outside of lab, you can find me running half marathons with no training, reading my way through my Goodreads 'Want to Read' shelf, and exploring new places in New England!
