Current Research Summary:

My primary research interest is in pediatric neuropsychology. Currently, I am particularly interested in potential differences during childhood development for individuals at higher genetic/genomic risk for Alzheimer's disease. In my faculty mentor's lab, directed by Dr. David E. Warren, we investigate these potential differences using neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and neuropsychological assessment. Soon, the lab we will be expanding this project to include investigating these potential differences in children with Down syndrome.
