Work
My current research focuses on the link between chronic stress and memory function in older adults. In addition to this research focus, I am also very active and dedicated to the transformation of higher education to be more equitable and just. Here's where you'll find a list of my experiences in and out of research.
Blog
I hope to use this blog to talk about my journey through neuroscience, to share the things I've learned including building your CV, reaching out for mentorship, applying for grants, building posters, and thinking about how to use neuroscience as a tool for social justice and anti-colonial work.
I'll also share resources that have been shared with me, talk about experiences I've had in programs that I've applied to and been accepted into, and about the non-academic work I've engaged in at Boston University over the last few years.
