I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. Currently, I’m at Brown as a lab manager/RA studying cognitive control. I plan to apply to PhD programs in Cognitive Neuroscience.

My main research interests are in cognitive control, learning, and translating discoveries in basic science into interventions to improve mental health. I am passionate about open science, teaching, mentoring, and social justice.

Outside research, I enjoy making and eating food, makeup and fashion, swimming, reading, exploring nature, dancing with friends, and watching series like Game of Thrones.
