I am a first-year graduate student in the POIS Lab. I received a BA 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 I am looking forward to exploring my new home in KY!
