I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with minors in Spanish and Political Science from Baylor University in 2014, and my Master of Arts in Counselor Education from The University of Texas at Austin in 2016. My research interests include how nutrition, sleep, and other basic functions affect the brain and mental health issues, specifically for marginalized populations. I joined the Aging Mind Laboratory in January of 2017 and I will be working on the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study by scheduling and maintaining contact with participants, administering measures of cognitive abilities, and processing and editing MRI and PET scan data. Outside of work I enjoy trying new restaurants, exercising, playing the piano, and snuggling with my dog.
