(she/her) I am a PhD student in the Neuroscience area of the Department of Psychology working with Kalanit Grill-Spector and Jason Yeatman. I'm interested in leveraging multimodal approaches to understand the development of brain function, neuroanatomy, and behavior as children learn to read. Before coming to Stanford, I earned my BA in Psychology with a minor in Early Development from UC Berkeley and worked as the lab manager at the Brain Development Lab at Princeton University.
