Biography
About me: I am a staff scientist and manager of the Waisman Center’s Neuromodulation Service. I completed a dual BA/BS in biochemistry and computer science at The Evergreen State College in 2014, my PhD in neuroscience at UW-Madison in 2023, and my Postdoctoral training with the Pediatric Neuromodulation Lab in 2025. My prior research experience has included profiling of lipids in complex biological samples, fluid-based biomarker discovery, brain markers of consciousness and sensory awareness, and optimization of transcranial magnetic stimulation assessments for infants. I now manage Waisman’s Neuromodulation Service, where I assist researchers with the development and implementation of non-invasive brain stimulation studies.
What motivates me: I am excited to be working with cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to help us better understand and treat a variety of brain disorders.
