2ND-YEAR GRADUATE STUDENT

Before joining the POIS Lab at UofL, I received a B.A. in Neuroscience from Bates College in 2022. I then moved back home to Boston, where I worked at McLean Hospital for three years as a community residence counselor and clinical research coordinator. I am broadly interested in investigating mechanisms of change in psychotherapy and treatment outcomes. I hope to translate that information into improving the efficacy and accessibility of treatment options. 

Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, spending time in nature, and rooting for Boston sports teams.
