SHORT BIO

I am interested in how the brain quickly and effortlessly analyzes complex, multisensory everyday environments. I study how sensory processing changes throughout the human lifespan and differs in neurodiverse populations. I aim to harness this knowledge to help people with impaired perceptual and communication abilities. For my PhD in Bernhard Ross’s lab at the University of Toronto, I used magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to study aging-related changes in the brain function underlying auditory perception, and how they contribute so speech-in-noise deficits.

As a postdoctoral fellow in the McIntosh lab, I use MEG to study the brain dynamics underlying multisensory processing, and how they change in aging and dementia. Outside the lab, I am a lifelong musician who loves spending time outdoors.
