Academic Background
I have a Ph.D. in Psychology with a concentration in Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience from George Mason University (R1), where I conducted research under the supervision of Dr. Martin Wiener in the S.T.A.R. Lab (spatial, temporal, action, representation).

My doctoral work included investigating the neural mechanisms involved in human time and numerosity perception. Understanding how these magnitudes are processed is a pathway to understanding how we perceive and interact with our environment.

Before starting my Ph.D., I earned my M.A. in Psychological Research at Texas State University, where I studied visual attention, perspective-taking, language processing, and mental workload. And before that, I earned a B.A. in Psychology (with Honors) and a minor in Philosophy from Northern Kentucky University, where I studied bias and out-group perception.

Why Study Time & Numerosity Perception?

Identifying the neural correlates of time could help us answer one of the most debated questions:​ What makes us human?
​
Our perception of magnitudes (e.g., time, number) is fundamental to how we make predictions and interact with our environment. Looking at different numerosities (i.e., numbers of items) changes how we perceive and use time.
