Curriculum vitae


My research interests are focused on early cognitive development. I currently serve as director of the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University of Tennessee.  Research in the DCN lab is focused on the development of attention in infancy, and the impact of developmental change in attention on perception, learning, and memory. Multiple psychophysiological and behavioral measures are integrated into the majority of experiments run in the lab in order to gain greater insight into early development. This approach is being used to examine three areas of research: brain-behavior relations and the development of attention, individual differences in infant visual attention, and the effects of attention on categorization, face processing, and memory in infancy. ​

I am a second year PhD student from Huntsville, Alabama. My research interests include visual processing and face perception. My master's thesis explored the visual information accessible to face selective brain areas. In the DCN lab, I plan to investigate perceptual narrowing in the development of face recognition. When I am not in the lab, I like to travel, hike, and hang out with my cat, Cricket.

I am a Second year PhD student from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My research interest include categorization and attention development. In the DCN lab I plan to investigate how categorization changes throughout development and what features influences categorization and attention. Outside of the lab I like to hike, ski, and root for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
