Hello!

I am an aspiring cognitive scientist that is interested in examining how attention and cognitive control modulate learning and memory across the lifespan. I am also interested in investigating factors that make learning more or less efficient and how to leverage these factors to optimize the learning process. To date, my research has explored the ways in which salient information can influence beliefs, how beliefs influence argumentative writing, and if negative attitudes towards aging can be changed by a psychology of aging course.

Outside of academics, I am an avid rock climber. I mostly climb sport routes at the Red River Gorge and New River Gorge with my fellow weekend warriors from Planet Rock. Check out my podcast “Perspectives on Psilocybin: The Science and Mysticism of Magic Mushrooms” on any streaming service.
