I am a first-year PhD student at Yale University in the Department of Psychology, where I am advised by Dr. Nick Turk-Browne in the Turk-Browne Lab. I am interested in the dynamic interplay between our past and present experiences and the trade-off between memory flexibility and stability in supporting new learning while preserving knowledge. Additionally, I aim to understand how these processes operate across different timescales. Currently, I am exploring how new learning reshapes our understanding of past experiences and the neural mechanisms that support this kind of memory updating.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Biomathematics at Florida State University, where I worked with Dr. Chris Martin in the Martin Memory Lab. There, I studied how we selectively retrieve semantic and episodic information using fMRI, receiving the Barry Goldwater Scholarship.
