**Rotation lab(s):** Aleena Garner, Chris Harvey, Humsa Venkatesh  
  
**For me, home is:** Orange County, California  
  
**Undergraduate degree(s):** BS Cognitive Science with Neuroscience Specialization  
  
**Research experience before PiN:** I studied visual thalamocortical circuits in the Callaway Lab at the Salk Insitute and prediction error circuits within the visual cortex in the Hofer lab at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre.   
  
**Current research interests:** I remain interested in cortical circuits, but more specifically concerning memory and long term storage.  
  
**Interests outside lab / favorite hangouts:** Outside of the lab I love to travel so I'm excited to explore the East Coast. I also love to read, go to music festivals, and find new restaurants.
