Specialization: Child clinical psychology

Research Interests: I’m interested in community-based research that better characterizes heterogeneity within autism spectrum and developmental disability diagnoses, with the long-term goal of improving the accessibility of individualized treatments. I aim to explore these topics through methodologies that center the perspectives of neurodivergent individuals and their families.

About me: I completed my undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Child Study and Human Development at Tufts University, conducting my thesis research on autistic students’ access to educational services. After graduating, I went on to work at the Human Neurobehavioral Core Service at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I administered standardized neuropsychological assessments for a variety of research protocols with diverse patient populations. At CWRU, I’ll be building on my past research experiences as a first-year graduate student in the Language, Autism, Motor, and Behavior Lab. In my free time, I can be found wandering through antique stores, surfing student discounts on concert and theater tickets, and trying new crafts.
