I am an undergraduate student at North Carolina State University studying Psychology and Cognitive Science, expected to graduate in Spring 2027. I currently work as a research intern in the Mnemology Lab at Duke University under the mentorship of Dr. Roberto Cabeza and Postdoc Dr. Maxi Becker, where I contribute to a project investigating the relationship between memory and insight. Through this work, I have gained experience analyzing fMRI data using SPM, including conducting first- and second-level analyses and examining patterns of brain activation associated with memory processes. My research interests center on memory, cognitive aging, and the use of neuroimaging methods to understand neural mechanisms. In the future, I hope to pursue a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology and continue studying memory.
