I’m over the moon to share that, starting Fall 2025, I will be pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Yale University under the mentorship of the incredible @ShirleyBWang !! Super excited to join the Computational Clinical Science Lab @CCSLabYale and Yale community!

So thrilled to be co-chairing this symposium with my superstar labmate @makara_amanda!! Come by to hear our amazing presenters share their exciting work in the realm of Atypical AN 🧠⚙️

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

I'm excited to share that I'll be reviewing applications for @VCUClinPsy (through the BMed concentration) for Fall 2025 admission! My lab's website is under construction 🏗️🚧 but we, the Translational Research on Eating and Affect (TREAT) Lab, focus on:

I'm so thrilled to share my newest publication, which is now in press as part of the Mechanisms in Eating Disorders Special Issue for the International Journal of Eating Disorders and probably my favorite publication of my career to date! doi.org/10.1002/eat.24…

@IntJEatDisord paper based on the "Spirit of Science" study: "The atypical AN group comprised significantly more people of color than the AN group." @hagan_ke @HaynosAF @kiravenables @AmandaMakara doi.org/10.1002/eat.24…

Spread the word! 📣 The REPEAT Lab is recruiting for an eating disorder treatment study for persons who have recently discharged from higher levels of eating disorder-related care! 📣

So lucky to work with (and twin with) these brilliant people!! 💗 #EDRS2023
