In spring of 2007, I received a Sc.B. in Psychology from Brown University. As an undergraduate, I was a research assistant for Dr. Mary A. Carskadon at the Bradley Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory, and participated in the William C. Dement Summer Behavioral Apprenticeship. I was also a four year varsity letterman in track and field.
Currently, I am in my third year of a doctoral program in physiology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Kent State University under the advising of Dr. J. David Glass. My research investigates primary neurobiological mechanisms for alcohol abuse and alcoholism related to disruptions of the circadian timing system. I am President of the Kent State Biology Graduate Student Council and am the Trainee Member At-Large Elect of the Sleep Research Society.
