About Me

I am an assistant professor at the Center for Vital Longevity at the University of Texas at Dallas. My research uses multi-method approaches (e.g., daily life sampling, behavioral tasks, multimodal neuroimaging) to study cognitive, affective, and motivational changes across the adult life span and in Alzheimer’s disease.

I will be accepting applications for Ph.D. students to start in fall 2027.

In addition to my work, I enjoy training for triathlons, baking and cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
