About
My research broadly investigates how metacognition and other self-regulatory strategies can be leveraged to optimize human cognitive performance. I've targeted this investigation from many directions, including how special experiences such as bilingualism drive cognition and how regulating one's physiology through diaphragmatic breathing can improve test performance. My most recent research investigates how reflecting on one's likelihood to remember environment information improves wayfinding success. My work is largely applied with implications for academic and workplace settings. In addition to conducting research, I share insights from my PhD journey and lifestyle on social media platforms including Instagram and YouTube (@laurenfindsaway). I am passionate about encouraging authenticity in academia to 1. promote approachability for first-generation college students considering postgraduate education and 2. highlight strategies for current graduate students to overcome academic hurdles and thrive.
