Biography

My research interests involve parent-child interaction from infancy and the development of children's attachment styles, emotional intelligence, mental health, and intellect. I am also interested in autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental disabilities. I completed my B.S. in Neuroscience with several years of Neurobiology research on obstructive sleep apnea. This led me to discover Child Neurology and engage in pediatric epilepsy and sleep medicine research.
