I am currently the lab manager for the Saxelab at MIT.

I manage the lab as a whole, and work with researchers in our lab on their projects. I am mainly working with Dr. Halie Olson on her language in toddlers, fMRI study.

Outside of research, I love listening to music, extending my Duolingo streak, and reading fiction novels.
