Brief Biographical Sketch:

At the moment, I teach psychology at Curry College, crochet, raise fish, write obsessively, study a lot, and play video games. Prior to now, I received my PhD in neuroscience in 2009 at BU. During that time, I researched the amazing phenomenon of synesthesia at the Vision and Cognition Laboratory under the supervision of Alice Cronin-Golomb and Catherine Harris.
