 During my undergraduate degree, I studied the social, cultural, and biological factors that influence cognitive abilities such as attention and emotional learning. After receiving a BA in Psychology, I became interested in the neurobiological mechanisms of cost/benefit decision making, and how this may relate to drug and behavioural addictions. I am continuing this work as a PhD student in Dr. Winstanley's lab at UBC. I currently study the neurocircuitry involved in risky decision making, as well as the biobehavioural consequences of poor diet and exposure to recreational drugs.
