She joined the Psychology Department’s Preschool Promise research team, which focused on investigating children’s executive functioning skills in relation to their school readiness. Outside of her academics, she served on the executive committees for both Big Brothers Big Sisters and Zeta Tau Alpha, applying her creative skillset in digital media production to drive organization initiatives. Her free time is filled with many different things, from photography and Pilates to binge watching shows and exploring St. Louis with her friends.
