About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

My research focuses visual perception and visual attention in neurodivergent populations. I am particularly interested in employing objective measures of visual attention, such as eye-tracking and pupillometry, to investigate hierarchical visual processing differences associated with autism. I also utilize visual evoked potentials and oscillatory dynamics to study excitation and inhibition patterns in autistic children and children with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome.

I completed my PhD in Psychology (training area: Cognition, Language, and Development) at The City University of New York, Graduate Center, my Masters in Psychology at The City University of New York, Hunter College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the State University of New York, New Paltz. I am also a Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
