Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow jointly at the University of Waterloo and the University of Ottawa, working with Dr. Evan Risko, Dr. Colin MacLeod, and Dr. Erin Maloney. My research focuses on metacognitive processes in learning and memory - examining how individuals monitor and regulate their cognition to enhance understanding and performance. I am deeply passionate about advancing knowledge in this area and translating these insights into practical strategies for education and lifelong learning. Equally committed to teaching and mentoring, I strive to create engaging, evidence-based learning environments that empower students to think critically and develop metacognitive skills.

• a B.Sc. in Psychology: Brain and Cognition (with minors in Neuroscience and Criminal Justice and Public Policy) - Read part of my undergraduate thesis here
