• Research Scientist- Translational Neuroscience

  • Oct 2019 - Feb 2023

  I'm leading studies that use preclinical animal models of alcohol abuse to identify mechanisms that alter individual susceptibility to the negative impacts of alcohol on behavioral and neurobiological function during adolescence and adulthood using varied techniques, from molecular, cellular, and systems assays to magnetic resonance imaging.

• Advanced Health Fellow

  • Dec 2018 - Oct 2019

  I spearheaded studies in rodents that sought to understand how perfluoroalkyl chemicals (so called "forever chemicals") impact brain function in order to increase our understanding of how chemical exposures impact neurological function in veteran health and disease.

• Postdoctoral Researcher- Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

  • Mar 2018 - Dec 2018

  Helped to develop neurobiological applications for recently discovered carbon nanotube neurotransmitter sensors that will offer novel insights into questions about neuromodulation in health and disease.

• Postdoctoral Researcher- Department of Psychology and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute

  • Jul 2013 - Mar 2018

  I discovered a role for pubertal hormones in the adolescent maturation of cognitive and affective behavior, frontal cortex neurophysiology, and structural plasticity. These discoveries have widespread implications for our understanding of adolescent-vulnerability to numerous psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.
