I have gained my students’ trust through patience, steady guidance, and successful results that...

...students in Science, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I love bringing a student out of their shell and having a conversation about the material.

In my spare time, I love trying new food, cheering on the Washington...

...my focus was on cognitive neuroscience and, particularly, in using electroencephalography (EEG) to understand how visual distractors interfere with ongoing brain processes associated with cognitive performance. My current work at the Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Branch and Dynamic Imaging Core of the NIMH involves leveraging multiple brain imaging modalities (e.g., functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)) and the power of Genome Wide Association analysis to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms...
