My current research looks at the mechanisms underlying auditory selective attention and factors driving individual differences in those mechanisms, such as working memory. More specifically, I’ve been looking at two mechanisms that guide auditory attention: enhancement, which boosts the auditory signal of interest, and suppression, which attenuates distracting signals. Outside of the lab, I love hanging out with my family, experimenting with baking, and playing embarrassingly old video games.

I hope to develop research that furthers the understanding of the cognitive mechanisms of speech and language perception and production in order to contribute to research that will aid Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists in developing treatments for people who have speech or language disorders and hearing impairments. When not doing school work, I enjoy playing board games and embroidery.

I am interested in psycholinguistics. Particularly, I want to investigate the mechanisms under perception and comprehension of spoken language. Also, I hope to learn more about the second language perception and comprehension and how it differs.
