Education:

Bachelors, University of Alabama (2021-2025)

Research Interests:

I focus on stress and cognition-related regions, including the cerebellum that remain understudied in this context. I also consider resilience, asking how adaptations to harsh environments influence information processing and subclinical outcomes ( altered reward processing, emotion dysregulation, school difficulties). By linking environmental context to brain and immune pathways, I aim to clarify mechanisms and inform public health strategies to reduce the impact of childhood adversity
