PhD, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, April, 2008
Dissertation: “The Integration of Higher Cognition and Internal State Across Development”

BS, Cognitive Psychology, May, 2003
Research Interests
My research interests are diverse but focus on issues in developmental cognitive neuroscience and magnetic resonance imaging methods. Specifically, I am interested in how emotional information is integrated with higher cognitive processes and how this integration matures across adolescence and young adulthood. I believe that this form of information processing is important for efficient cognition and may be related to developmental changes observed in adolescent choice behavior.
