I am a fourth year graduate student working with Dr. Reynolds and the MOCC lab. My broad areas of interest include the cognitive underpinnings of decision making, emotion control, attentional control, and perception. I'm also fascinated by artificial intelligence and by evolution and its influence of various mental functions. In the future, I would like to research ways in which cognitive mechanisms can improve artificial intelligence.

I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Florida State University in 2007, where I worked with E.J. Masicampo in the Baumeister/Tice Lab for Social Psychology. I moved to Denver in 2007 with my husband Brant and our menagerie of pets.
