Welcome!

About me:

I am an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Institute of Health System Science within Northwell Health's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research.  Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Yaden lab at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research working on psychedelic clinical trials.  Before that, I received my PhD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and the joint Pitt - Carnegie Mellon University Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. 

My doctoral research explored the neural correlates of subjective wellbeing in older adults, including those with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed a cancer research fellowship at the National Cancer Institute and a Master of Public Health degree at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.  I gained additional experience in clinical trials as a data analyst at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute working on Phase I, Thoracic, Sarcoma, and Proton Beam studies.
