Faculty Advisor: Rebecca Gomez
I am a PhD student in the Cognition and Neural Systems program, minoring in statistics. I work in the Child Cognition Lab to investigate how children grow rich, interconnected networks of word knowledge, as well as how individual differences in these networks impacts word-learning. Broadly, I'm interested in the interplay between conceptual organization, word-learning, and memory consolidation.
