I was born and raised in South Jersey. As a kid, I was passionately interested in music, science and nature. Within a year of entering college, I discovered neuroscience and quickly became enamored by the prospect of understanding human cognition in the context of experiment and data-driven analysis.

My new found interest in the brain eventually led me to Davis, California, to the lab of Dr. Charan Ranganath. Here, I learned the fundamentals of how memories are formed, and how to study the neural correlates of memory formation using brain imaging techniques such as fMRI and EEG.

After that, I obtained a PhD in Dr. Lila Davachi's lab at NYU studying how brain rhythms relate to the forming and structuring of new memories.

Now, I am a postdoc in Dr. Jeremy Manning's lab at Dartmouth College leveraging what I've learned about memory and the brain to create technologies that help us learn as efficiently as possible.
