I received my undergraduate degree in English/Secondary Education at Rhode Island College. For several years, I taught High School English and I coached field hockey and softball. I became interested in neuropsychology when I was attending Bridgewater State College while studying for a graduate degree in Counseling.  Upon completion, I was accepted into the clinical psychology program at Suffolk University where I have concentrated in neuropsychological studies. My practicum experiences have been at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, the Beth Israel Hospital in the Behavioral Neurology Unit, and a Private Neuropsychological Practice. 

My research has examined age related trends in the maturation of the prefrontal cortex. I have worked with Dr. Edith Kaplan and fellow graduate students collecting data on developmental trends with the clock drawing protocol. My dissertation will examine the relationship between learning disabilities and social emotional processing deficits. I have presented research posters at both the International Neuropsychology Society (2007 and 2004) and the Massachussets Neuropsychology Society (2006 and 2005).

Currently, I am an adjunct instructor at both Suffolk University and Bridgewater State College, and work in a private neuropsychological practice. My career aspiration is to secure an academic appointment upon graduation as well as continuing clinical work with geriatric populations.
