I am pleased to share that I am going to be starting my Ph.D. in neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno, while doing research in the Neuromechanics Lab! I joined the lab as a graduate researcher in June of 2022, ahead of my coursework starting in the fall. Thus far I've been able to conduct baseline assessments for the UNR student-athletes, work with neurocognitive assessment data and play a role in recruitment for a large repetitive head impact (RHI) study. I am grateful for this incredible experience, and I am excited to see where my research will take me.

In light of my move to UNR, I was recently featured in "The South Dakotan", an alumni newsletter from my alma mater the University of South Dakota. The article talks about my collegiate concussion, and how I decided I wanted to pursue a career in concussion research. The best part about this article is that it was written by my best friend and college roommate Madilyn!
