I graduated from Salisbury University in Maryland with a B.A. in Psychology in May 2018. Previously, I worked in Salisbury's Neuroscience Lab and Cognitive Aging Lab. Before I became a graduate student, I was a lab manager for the CNL's Cognitive Control grant. My current research interests explore the relationship between fitness, stress, and cognition throughout the lifespan with a focus on data collected via MRI.

I received my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from New York University in 1983. I have 30 years of experience applying a variety of neuroimaging modalities including MEG, EEG/ERP, MRI/fMRI and rCBF to both basic and clinical questions. My role at the CNL is primarily to implement new procedures for running cognitive experiments and for collecting and analyzing neuroimaging data using EROS, NIRS, fMRI and evoked potentials. I also provide training, troubleshooting and consultation for visitors and collaborators.
