About me

I graduated with a PhD in Experimental Psychology from the Cognition & Perception Program at New York University.

As a Term Assistant Professor at Barnard College, I research attention and visual perception in neurotypical and special populations.

I am passionate about teaching and mentorship.

My publications

Exogenous attention generalizes location transfer of perceptual learning in adults with amblyopia



Voluntary attention improves performance similarly around the visual field



When attention is intact in ADHD



Covert spatial attention is functionally intact in amblyopic human adults



Attention reorients periodically



Visual recovery in cortical blindness is limited by high internal noise



Molecular phylogeny supports repeated adaptation to burrowing within small-eared shrews of the genus of Cryptotis (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae)
