Hello!
I’m a 5th year doctoral candidate in neuroscience at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), where I’m advised by Dr. Aimee McRae-Clark.
My research uses a human laboratory paradigm to inform pharmacotherapeutic development for addictive disorders, predominantly cannabis use disorder. To conduct this work, I use a combination of methods including human behavior, pharmacology, psychophysiology, and ecological momentary assessment.
A key focus of my work is translatability: from animal models to the human laboratory, from the human laboratory to clinical trials, and bidirectionally across sexes. A primary goal in my doctoral training has been to develop skills that would enable me to best realize this focus, and I’m looking to continue this training as a postdoctoral researcher.
