About

I am a behavioural neuroscientist-in-training at the University of Alberta, passionate about exploring the links between brain and behaviour. I work in the Seasonal and Social Neuroendocrinology Lab with Dr Kathleen Munley.

Broadly, I am interested in studying the neurobiological underpinnings of behaviours that are generally thought to be maladaptive, such as anxiety and depression. My PhD research focuses on characterising the neural control of social subordination by serotonin in the African cichlid A. burtoni.
