About

I grew up just outside of Boston in a town called Braintree. Braintree is a odd name for a town, and when I was a kid I imagined that somewhere there must be a tree with brains growing out of it. I couldn't wait to find this tree, pick my very own brain from among the branches, and see what it looked like. I was wrong about the tree, but now I get to look at brains all the time! I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MGH Martinos Center and a Visiting Scientist at Brandeis University. My research studies how age and neurochemistry affect the network stucture of the brain. My primary mentors are Dr. Anne Berry and Dr. Jacob Hooker.
