Research Interests: I am broadly interested in the biological and motivational factors underlying substance use disorders. Additionally, I am interested in translational research focused on bridging neurobiological models of addiction into clinical populations.

Hobbies: Spending time outside, playing pickleball with friends, exploring new food spots, and eating popcorn while watching Netflix.

Take on Los Angeles: “I love living somewhere that’s driving distance to the beach, mountains, lake, or desert. You’ll never run out of places to explore!”
