Research Discipline/Bio
As a doctoral student under the mentorship of Dr. Sonya Troller-Renfree, my research revolves around the associations between early adversity, neurodevelopment, and school readiness. I am particularly interested in examining environmental factors that could be targeted through policy interventions. I am experienced with the collection and processing of physiological markers (e.g., EEG, RSA, and cortisol) and analyzing data in SPSS and R. I gained work experience as a research coordinator under Drs. Kristin Buss and Koraly Perez-Edgar at Penn State University, and I volunteered as an undergraduate research assistant with Dr. Rebecca Brooker while I studied at Texas A&M University.
