I am actively recruiting undergraduate interns for Fall 2025. 

A 1-year commitment and minimum 8-10 hours/week are requested. Please e-mail me with your resume and research interests.

I am excited to hear from you!

My lab's research explores how age-related hearing loss affects the brain and contributes to dementia risk. Our work combines neuroimaging, cognitive testing, and hearing science to understand these links and to evaluate whether hearing aids can help protect or restore brain health. This line of research is designed to open new avenues for prevention and early intervention in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. 

I earned her PhD in Neuroscience at Arizona State University, following master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Physiology from the University of Arizona. I then went on to postdoctoral training at the University of Southern California and UC San Diego.

In my mentorship, I emphasizes collaboration, skill development, and personal growth. Trainees can expect opportunities to work with large longitudinal datasets, neuroimaging methods, and clinical research approaches, while also engaging with questions that have clear public health impact. I am eager to work with motivated students and collaborators who are interested in auditory neuroscience, aging, and dementia prevention.
