About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at UC San Diego. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor’s in psychology and have worked in human subject research for the past three years. In my previous work, I used various neuroimaging and pharmacological methodologies to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the effects of mindfulness meditation and psychedelics on well-being. Through my graduate studies, I aspire to continue using my curiosity about the human brain to discover innovative approaches to improving mental health.
