Research Interests:
I am interested in the complex relationship between cannabis use and neuropsychological functioning. Specifically, my research will explore the therapeutic use of cannabis in clinical populations with existing cognitive impairments, in the interest of guiding patients and doctors in their treatment decisions. Additionally, I am interested in the multifaceted role of executive functioning in the development and treatment of substance use disorders. I hope that my findings will inform public health policy and safety regulations within the Colorado cannabis industry.

After graduating, I coordinated clinical trials for multiple sclerosis at the CU Anschutz Neurology Department. My hobbies include baking, hiking, drawing, audiobooks, and everything Star Wars! My remaining free time is spent with my husband Charlie and our three adorable dogs.
