I graduated in May of 2010 from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science with a double-major in History (specializing in World War II and Europe). As my fiancé is attending medical school at MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine, I relocated to the East Lansing area to take a position in Dr. Alex Burt's Lab as the Project Coordinator for her Neighborhood Informant Study (NIS) in March of 2011.

    My research interests include: memory, cognition and the underlying causes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Ultimately, I plan to attend graduate school to obtain a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science.

    In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, playing with my two little lions Mufasa and Timon, wedding planning, watching football (Go Blue!), running and traveling.
