I began my interest in psychology while a first year undergraduate at Queens College (CUNY). I spent two years working in the labs of two faculty members, Dr. Jeffrey Halperin and Dr. Ray Johnson Jr. There I learned the rudiments of neuropsychological assessment as well as various theories of human memory function, especially hippocampal contributions to explicit memory. I am now the Human Studies Coordinator at the Memory Disorders Project, where I am using my neuropsych testing skills to help assess implicit memory ability in adults, which is also under hippocampal influence. In the future, I am looking to pursue my interests in a doctoral program that stresses memory function and disorders, as well as clinical methods.
