I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Brain & Behavioral Science from Purdue University in Spring 2020. During my undergraduate career, I worked in two Industrial Organizational labs with Dr. Sang Woo and Dr. Carolyn Jagacinski studying individual differences, personality, and creativity. I also worked in the Purdue Applied Cognition lab with Dr. Tom Redick studying topics in working memory. In Fall 2020, I continued with my education at Purdue in the Cognitive Psychology PhD program. I am broadly interested in topics of learning, memory, and attention. Specifically, I am interested in individual differences in working memory and the relationship between working memory and academic performance.
