I am a recent graduate from the University of Rhode Island. Currently, I am employed as an administrative assistant by the University of Rhode Island's Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program. As an undergraduate, I worked as both a research assistant and project director at the STRESS Lab where I primarily managed a project focusing on emotion dysfunction and its relationship with PTSD, substance use, and risk taking behaviors. During my time at the university, I received a grant to fund research regarding the relationship between executive functioning with co-occurring substance use and PTSD. My research interests include substance use, trauma, and neuropsychological constructs.
