About

I am a 4th year PhD student at the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development.

Prior to joining ICD, I received my B.A. in Psychology and Family Studies from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. Then, I worked as a Project Coordinator at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System in Dr. Melissa Polusny's lab.

Outside of research I enjoy reading, knitting, and spending time with my dog.
