Majoring in Neuroscience and Psychology

Research interests: I am interested in understanding all the biological connections to behavior. I found that simply studying psychology was very interesting but the ability to connect that to the microscopic details of the brain was very exciting. Along with that, I have a specific interest in abnormal psychology. I’m very intrigued by diagnoses, symptoms, and treatment of under-researchedÌýdisorders or ones that are generally not well understood.

Responsibilities: I am an independent study undergraduate assistant working specifically with the wet-lab aspects of CUChange.

91ÖÆƬ³§ me: I am a junior here and outside of class I love climbing, reading, picnics, and romanticizing my frequent trips to coffee shops to do copious amounts of schoolwork. I’ve also been trying to get back into writing and more into podcasts!
