Cognitive neuroscientist interested in women’s brain health, mixed methods, and sex and gender science. My primary research interest is in the effects of ovarian hormones on cognition, with a focus on category learning across the menstrual cycle. I have previously studied cognition in women with early estradiol deprivation, and in polycystic ovary syndrome.

My secondary research focus is on psychosocial stress and cognitive aging. Specifically, the association between early life adversity and dementia risk in mixed-sex cohorts, as well as minority stress and cognitive aging in sexual minority women.
