Biography
I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology, Psychology, and Philosophy. Broadly, my research interests encompass executive functions (cognitive control), their associated neurovascular mechanisms, and how both change across the lifespan (neurocognitive aging). I am integrating resting-state fMRI and optical pulse data in order to examine how functional brain networks (control-related networks) and cerebrovascular health change with age and how these alterations may jointly impact executive functioning.
