Research Interests– I study how neurodiverse youth develop social and cognitive skills. I am also interested in understanding how we can individualize and optimize behavioral interventions for neurodiverse populations to fit the diverse needs of every child.
I am originally from New Jersey. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh with minors in Spanish and Neuroscience. After college, I moved to Maryland to complete a research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health. My hobbies include running, reading, hosting dinner parties, and hanging out with my cat!
