Bio

• I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Missouri. I study the neurocognitive basis of episodic memory using neuroimaging techniques. I also utilize different machine learning techniques and computational modeling to help understand the processes that support episodic retrieval. When not doing research, I spend most of my time outdoors playing sports with friends!
