January 2026: New year, new preprint! Excited to announce my new paper with Dr. Megan Peters: Stimulus familiarity shapes hierarchical structure learning and metacognitive dynamics (preprint link).

November 2025: Attended SfN 2025 in San Diego, CA with my lab. Got a lot of great engagement with my poster Quantifying the Emergence of Metacognition in Structure Learning!

August 2025: Had an absolute blast attending CogSci2025 in San Francisco, CA! I presented a poster for my Master's Project from RPI: Examining the Influence of Stress and Anxiety on Visual Working Memory and Decision-Making (coauthors: Alicia Walf & Chris Sims). Check out our paper here. 

April 2025: My labmates and I won the UCI Cognitive Sciences department bakeoff as team Crumbly Neural Creations🥧! 

March 2025: Gave a talk at the UCI Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, sharing the background & design for our project (w/ Megan Peters): Investigating the Metacognitive Accessibility of Visual Structure Learning. 

July 2024: Spending the Summer building & teaching STEM camp curricula for kids covering everything from binary code, electric circuits, animal habitats, and astronomy🔬. 

Also contributed data & analysis to this article posted, drawing from my work as an intern with Arity's Business Intelligence & Geospatial Data Science teams in 2023. 

May 2024: Officially have my M.S. in Cognitive Science from RPI. Excited to move to SoCal to begin my PhD in Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine☀️! 

February 2024: Presented my Master's Project work at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Cognitive Science research colloquium.
