I’m a Cognitive Psychologist specializing in human visual attention and visual memory, with a specific focus on understanding how attention and memory interact to allow us to navigate complex visual environments. In my research, I use behavioural methods coupled with computational modeling, eye tracking, and functional MRI.

I’m currently an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where I direct the MUN Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. I completed my Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Vision and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at The Ohio State University working primarily with Dr. Julie Golomb, where I held a NSERC PDF. I was also affiliated with the Cognitive Control Lab at OSU through collaborations with Dr. Andy Leber. I earned my PhD in June 2019 at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, as a member of the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Lab working with Dr. Naseem Al-Aidroos.

I also served as an organizer for the Object Perception, Attention, and Memory (OPAM) conference from 2020-2022. OPAM is a satellite conference affiliated with the Psychonomic Society’s annual meeting, and provides great opportunities for early-career researchers (undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs) to share their research.
