I am interested in memory, embodiment, and grounded cognition. In my PhD, I investigate questions related to grounding and embodiment. In my dissertation work, I am investigating the ways in which motor simulation can be used automatically and/or deliberately to improve our memory for the locations of objects in the environment. 

I am a PhD student in the Cognitive, Developmental, and Behavioural Sciences (CDBS) stream at the University of Western Ontario. I am co-supervised by Dr. Ken McRae and Dr. Stefan Köhler. In 2022, I received my Masters of Science in Psychology (CDBS) at Western. My MSc thesis focused on how cues initiate spontaneous simulations of future and past events. 

My specific interests in cognitive psychology include event cognition, episodic future thinking, and autobiographical memory. 

I recieved my PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology (Cognitive, Developmental, and Brain Sciences research cluster) at Western University, in London, ON, Canada. I was co-supervised by Ken McRae and Ryan A. Stevenson, and part of the Brain and Mind.

Most of my research is focused on people’s knowledge and experience of meaningful patterns of behaviours in the world, called event knowledge. I am further interested in how event knowledge relates to traits associated with autism, particularly social communication abilities, and how autistic and non-autistic individuals experience events.

I recieved my Ph.D. candidate in the cognitive, developmental, and brain science (CDBS) program at Western University in London, Ontario. I earned my master's degree in the same program under the supervision of Dr. Ken McRae. Previously, I majored in Psychology at the University of Havana, Cuba.

My research interests include using natural language processing (NLP) analyses, mixed-effects and hierarchical modelling to study future-oriented cognition, imagery, and event knowledge.
