About
Welcome! I am a social scientist with The Lab @ DC using evidence-based research to develop and evaluate government programs. I currently work on topics related to behavioral health, housing, and use of emergency services.
I received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Georgetown University where I trained in the Laboratory on Social & Affective Neuroscience. Previously, I earned a B.S. in Biology from The Pennsylvania State University and completed research training at the National Institute of Mental Health in the Section on Neurobiology of Fear and Anxiety. I use methods such as computational modeling and randomized controlled trials to answer research questions about human behavior and health.
When not doing research, you can probably find me at a park with my kids and dog, Mr. Beau, or searching for the perfect slice of pizza.
