In graduate school I did extensive research examining neural systems responsible for learning ,memory, and behavior (resulting in four publications in top tier Neuroscience journals) and taught a variety of undergraduate classes in behavioral neuroscience and psychology. Through this I fell in love with teaching and was filled with a desire to turn the beauty I saw in neuroanatomy into art. I began by making sketches to help students in my classes and quickly progressed to brain inspired paintings and jewelry.
When not working or making art I am either reading horror anthologies or dancing. When I first started college I ran haunted houses (voted the #2 scariest in Las Vegas three years in a row) and was part of a tribal belly dance performance troupe.
My goal is to continue to find new ways of combining art and neuroscience to inspire curiosity and share knowledge by creating artistic representations of scientific ideas and concepts.

Education:
PhD candidacy and Master's degree in Learning & Behavior/Behavioral Neuroscience from UCLA.
Master's degree and BA in Experimental Psychology from CSUSB. Associate's degree with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Dance from CCSN.
