Biography

I completed a BA in Behavioral Decision Sciences, with a certificate in Entrepreneurship, at Brown University last year. During my undergraduate years, I gained valuable research experience as a member of the Sheridan Center's Problem Solving Fellowship (an organization dedicated to implementing evidence-based interventions to create inclusive learning environments at Brown) and as a member of the Sheinberg Lab for my thesis project (using a physics-based game to investigate contextual learning). I am most interested in researching topics related to how neurodiverse individuals process information and make decisions in uncertainty, but I am also interested in entrepreneurial research and design projects that seek to serve these individuals. 

In my free time I love to cook and bake, so please let me know if you are looking for some of my fresh cinnamon snickerdoodle cookies!  I also love playing video games casually and competitively. I head the competitive division of Brown Esports, an organization of over 2000 students, alumni, and friends all brought together by a shared love of playing video games. If you are looking to play a few rounds of the latest games after class, I am happy to connect you with our community!
