My research focuses on the various ways that human behaviors affect the brain and contribute towards obesity. I have developed substantial mathematical and statistical knowledge throughout my data analysis. In addition, I have published a variety of publications in my field, and regularly write and edit federally-funded grants. I organize and run two academic journal clubs, one of which focuses on teaching the foundations of research and neuroscience to undergraduate college students. Beginning in 2014, I have continued to volunteer as a mentor to students interested in the applied sciences. Outside of work, I am a classically trained percussionist who enjoys biking, playing football, and managing two fantasy football leagues.
