I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and studied neuroscience at Boston University. After graduating, I spent two years as a researcher at UCSF while applying to graduate schools. I then entered the PhD program at the University of Oregon, but shortly thereafter found out the lab was moving to Norway! I stayed in Oregon for a few years and got my Master's degree, then moved here to Trondheim to finish my PhD. I defended in October 2019 and started my postdoc in the Moser lab in January 2020.
The day I started doing neuroscience research is also the day I met my future wife! We were both hired as undergraduate researchers to work with the same PhD student. We started hanging out outside the lab about a year later, started dating soon after that, and have been traveling the world together ever since. I'm incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful partner at home and in the lab. We have a fun and busy life outside of work with two kids and a husky.
In my free time I like to run around with my dog, hike, bike, ski, travel, and read. My happy place is in the forest with lots of snow.
