BA in Psychology, Grinnell College, 2021
I am a first-year doctoral student in the Developmental Science track. I am interested in neurobiological bases of executive function skills in typical and atypical development, as well as genetic and environmental risk factors associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD. Another line of my interest is the practical application of research findings in educational and clinical settings. I particularly want to explore effective interventions targeting executive function skills in reading and math instructions and special education.
