Hello there! I am a second-year PhD student at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest, University of Toronto, working with Dr. Brian Levine and collaborating frequently with Dr. Bradley Buchsbaum. Previously, I obtained my Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Chicago, working with Drs. Wilma Bainbridge and Monica Rosenberg. Prior to that, I completed my BSc (hons.) degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta, where I worked with Dr. Peter Dixon and Dr. Peggy St Jacques.

My research interests lie at the intersection of naturalistic perception, memory, and imagery, using computational cognitive neuroscience approaches with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study these processes and the individual differences that shape them.

Outside of my research, I sometimes build up lightweight tools to support experiment works - although, to be honest, playing video games tends to be the norm (as you can probably tell from my GitHub bio haha)
