About
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science with High Honors in Biopsychology, Cognition, & Neuroscience and a minor in Statistics. I have remained under the mentorship of Dr. Sarah Sperry since joining the EmoTe lab in 2021. Coordinating ecological momentary assessment and actigraphy studies fostered a deep interest in digital phenotyping of psychopathology. My honors thesis examined sleep quality and chronotype as etiological factors of psychopathology and investigated their role in emotion-based impulsivity.
Post-grad, I transitioned to a study coordinator role on the PRIORI Ambient study, examining passive speech-centered emotion sensing technology in predicting mood episodes in bipolar spectrum disorders. I aim to explore how personalized intervention & digital phenotyping can change illness trajectory. My goal is to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
