As a clinical scientist, I am committed to a career that emphasizes the two-way bridge between research and clinical practice. At the Washington University in St. Louis- School of Medicine, I engage in precision neuroimaging research that is primarily focused on individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). My research aims to identify individual differences in brain morphology and their association with cognitive abilities and co-occurring biopsychosocial symptoms in TBI. Information at this level can inform the development of both personalized as well as manualized interventions that promote cognitive restitution and improve psychosocial functioning. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology (with minors in statistics and neuroscience) at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign in 2021.
