About Me

I study how everyday experiences, like daily activity, stress, personal relationships, and the contexts we live in, shape cognitive health and well-being in mid- to late life. I work with Dr. Elizabeth Muñoz on the Cognition, Health, and Aging Research Team (CHART) studying early predictors of cognitive health.

Outside the Lab

I live to annoy my two very weird cats.
I spend the weekend perusing bookstores.
I love to (try) and puzzle when I have the space!
