I am a graduate student in the Neuroscience and Animal Behavior program in the Department of Psychology at Emory University. Since 2004, I have been working with Dr. Jocelyne Bachevalier at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. My main research interests lie within the broad field of primate learning and memory. Specifically, I am interested in:

~ Episodic-like memory
~ Spatial memory
~ Brain areas contributing to these types of memory

To study these topics I am working in the Bachevalier lab with Rhesus monkeys (Macacca Mulatta). I have also studied the cognitive abilities of free ranging rhesus monkeys in Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico, free ranging lemurs in Mayakka City, Florida, capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella), human infants, and rats.
