Professional Research Assistant Level I
Institute of Cognitive Science

Graduated Summa cum laude in 2023 with Bachelors in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Women and Gender Studies. 

Research Interests: During my undergraduate years, I focused on how cannabis use impacts sleep health and behaviors. I have always been interested in the impact of drugs and other substances on the brain. There is so much we don’t understand about the brain, especially when examining its relationship to substances like cannabis. 

About Me: I am a Colorado native and a recent CU Boulder graduate! I enjoy relaxing activities like reading, yoga, and baking. I’m often curled up with a book, a good cup of tea, and my cat, Ziggy! I hope to continue my studies of the brain whether that is in graduate school or medical school.
