About Me

I was born and grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am a first-generation college student from a low-income household and the only member of my family to pursue a doctoral degree.

I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2019), where I then spent three years working as the lab manager for Dr. Brad Postle [PO-STL-AB].

I earned a PhD in Psychology from the University of Arizona (2021). I began my doctoral training at the University of California, Davis with Dr. Arne Ekstrom [Human Spatial Cognition Lab], and transferred to the University of Arizona when Dr. Ekstrom and the lab moved there in 2018.

Currently, I am completing my postdoctoral training in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine with Dr. Liz Chrastil [Spatial Neuroscience Lab].

In my personal time, I enjoy biking, video games, craft beer, coffee, and just hanging out with my family.
