Role: Community and Networking Committee Member

Biography:

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University. I obtained my PhD from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia in 2017. My PhD examined the impact of high fat high sugar diets on interoceptive sensitivity, as well as cognitive and memory processes related to hippocampal function. My current postdoctoral research investigates brain-based behavioural, cognitive and metabolic changes associated with central insulin administration in prediabetic overweight and obese youth. 

In my personal time, I love to play soccer (football) any chance I get. I love singing and acting, and will see any show with anyone. Just ask me! I love networking and meeting new people, so feel free to introduce yourself!
