​I am an assistant professor in the Early Minds Lab at UMass Boston. I study the developmental trajectories of memory and attention, using behavioral experiments and EEG. I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Developing Minds Lab at Boston University, supervised by Melissa Kibbe. I completed my graduate work (investigating the link between episodic memory development and academic achievement) in the Cognition, Affect, and Psychophysiology Lab at Virginia Tech, working with Martha Ann Bell. My research interests include 1) better understanding how memory processes interact with other cognitive systems across development, 2) examining the relation between social cognition, memory, attention, and future thinking 3) exploring the developmental origins of memory and attention, and 4) investigating how individual differences in memory, attention, and future thinking predict cognitive outcomes.
