BIOGRAPHY
I am currently a data scientist working in Chicago, IL. I was formerly a post-doc at the Centre for Cognitive Development, University of British Columbia, working with Darko Odic in the Early Development Group and with UBC's Data Science Institute. I did my PhD at the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester, working with Dick Aslin and Jessica Cantlon and previously did a post-doc in Paris with Véronique Izard and Lola de Hevia. In a former life, I was a pianist.
