I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Sanguinetti Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, where I explore the evolution and comparative neuroethology of social play. My work aims to uncover how the brain shapes communication and coordination across the lifespan.
Before joining Penn, I earned my PhD as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in the Marler Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While in the Marler Lab I studied the endocrinology and functional neuroplasticity of social behavior. My PhD work focused on the role of oxytocin in shaping cooperative behaviors between pair members of a monogamous rodent, the California mouse.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology and psychology from Swarthmore College, and I previously worked as a behavioral neuroscience research assistant at Princeton University. I also spent time in New Zealand as a Fulbright scholar.
