I am a research assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Brad Mahon at the University of Rochester. I used functional MRI and neuropsychological testing to understand how manipulable object knowledge is organized in the human brain.

After graduate school, I received training in a variety of lesion-symptom mapping techniques to investigate the cognitive and neural basis of skilled action production under the guidance of Dr. Laurel Buxbaum at the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute. 

I then completed additional postdoctoral training in the use of high definition fiber tracking with support from Dr. Webster Pilcher in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

I now run a cognitive neuroscience lab that uses a range of neuroimaging and cognitive testing methods to ask fundamental questions about the brain regions and networks underlying skilled action and tool use.

When I'm not doing science I enjoy running, going to concerts, collecting vinyl records, podcasts, biking, finding new restaurants, and traveling.
