Biography

My research is a clinical study at the University Hospitals that aims to extend the period that older adults have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) before they develop Alzheimer's disease. We are doing this by measuring their sleep and performing neuropsychological tests, comparing MCI to normal function and melatonin to a placebo pill. I enjoy this research because I get to work directly with the participants by administering their neuropsychological tests and evaluating sleep data.

Outside of research, I enjoy being with my friends and family, playing pickleball or tennis.
