I am the scheduling manager here at the Brain Lab. My duties include creating and arranging Behavioral and ERP appointments, and then scheduling researchers and families for these appointments. I am also in charge of maintaining contact with our families throughout the year in order to continue scheduling them for our longitudinal research. In addition to scheduling, I manage a group of childcare employees who provide on-site care for siblings of research participants. I have a deep interest in both the social and cognitive impacts of early childhood intervention programs. I am also interested in the potential effects of a child’s home environment on neuroplasticity and the developmental of cognitive and physical disorders. I also enjoy tennis, camping, playing violin, and working intermittently for the ARC of Lane County.
