I earned my PhD in Neuroscience in 2011 from Penn State University, and then I went on to do Postdoctoral research in Dr. Joseph Lonstein’s lab at Michigan State University. After that, I became a Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Colgate University. In 2017, I took a position as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Purdue University Northwest and I built up my research lab. In 2021, I accepted an amazing opportunity to help build the Undergraduate Neuroscience at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA. My current research focused on the Neurobiology of Maternal Behavior.
