About Me.

Hello, I am a second-year transfer student at San Diego State University. Currently, I am working on a Psychology major with an Emphasis in Neuroscience and a minor in Cultural Proficiency. I’m an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Holcomb’s and Dr. Midgley’s NeuroCognition Lab. My goal after graduation is to earn a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience. I will hopefully, also mentor underrepresented students and make a positive impact in their educational careers and lives. I was appointed to MARC (Maximizing Access to Research Careers) in September 2024.
