About Me

I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology at Saint Joseph's University in 2014, and my PhD in Neuroscience at Georgetown University in 2019. I worked with Drs. Ludise Malkova and Patrick Forcelli studying the neural circuitry underlying threat detection in naturalistic and social environments. At Mount Sinai, I work with Drs. Peter Rudebeck and Brian Russ studying the neural circuits involved in decision making.

My research interests focus on determining the neural circuitry underlying maladaptive social behavior, including social anxiety, impairments in empathy or emotion recognition, and deficits in social problem solving or decision making. To do this, I use neuroimaging, neuroanatomical, pharmacological, chemogenetic, and behavioral methods. This avenue of research has relevance to a wide spectrum of disorders that have been observed in humans, including autism, anxiety disorders, and depression.
