I am a first year PhD student in Psychology supervised by Dr. Stefan Kohler and Dr. Ken McRae. I am interested in ideas of Embodied and Grounded Cognition especially as they relate to learning and memory. During my MSc, I studied how information from the body affects understanding of words.  In my PhD work, I am investigating the ways in which action shapes memory for object location. I am using mouse tracking in combination with imaging to monitor the dynamic systems that underlie learning and memory.​

"The boundary-line of the mental is certainly vague. It is better not to be pedantic, but to let the science be as vague as its subject."
