My main research focus is to address the multifaceted nature of neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. I am currently working on a project looking at sex and gender differences in a population at-risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as well as, completing a project that analyzed risk factors of mild cognitive impairment utilizing the ADNI dataset. I began my neuroscience career at Dalhousie University where I graduated with a bachelor of science in 2018 followed by, a master of arts from U of T in 2020. Currently, I am a 1st year PhD psychology student at U of T conducting research at the Rotman Research Institute under the supervision of Dr. Randy McIntosh.
