Education: 

• PhD in Neuroscience, University of California, Davis, 2024
• B.A. in Biological Psychology, California State University, San Bernardino 

Principal Research Interests

My current research is focused on understanding the impact of music on emotion and cognition through real-time behavioral measurements and sustained or developmental effects. My other work focuses on the relationship between motor control and cognition, especially as it relates to time perception.

Research Areas: 

• Psychology of music and sound
• Time perception
• Embodied cognition
• ADHD
• Development
