I am a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Julia Spaniol in the Memory & Decision Processes (MAD) Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University. I received my PhD from the Developmental, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neuroscience program at the University of Houston in 2023 having worked with Dr. Benjamin Tamber-Rosenau in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Attention Lab. Broadly, my research interests include aspects of human attention, attentional capture, the interactions between goal-driven and stimulus-driven attention, and developing cognitive science research that mimics real-world scenarios.
