My research aims to understand how parental engagement influences hormonal fluctuations and epigenetic modification, and how these changes moderate neurological processing of social cues throughout infancy. I use fMRI and EEG to assess neural activation patterns of infants and hormonal and epigenetic assays to assess biomarkers of individual differences in perception. Prior to my work in the lab, I earned a BS in Neuroscience from George Mason University and an MS in Clinical Research from The University of Virginia.
