B.S., Psychology, University of Vermont 2014



Research Interests: I’m interested in research involving mental health, substance use, and cannabis. I would like to help further cannabis research in all human subjects, but have specific interest in cannabis use among vulnerable populations such as individuals with mental health diagnoses, substance use disorders, and low socio-economic status. I’m also interesting in learning about the genetics of the cannabis plant, and to help develop a model of growing cannabis that is as sustainable and low-impact as possible.

Responsibilities: I help with research for the PRISM and OASIS cannabis studies, including running sessions in the mobile pharmacology lab.

´ºË®ÌÃÊÓƵ Me: I moved to Boulder in November 2017. I grew up in Maine and lived in Vermont for seven years before moving to Colorado. I attended the University of Vermont from 2010-2014 and primarily studied psychology and anthropology, but also enjoyed courses in studio art, religion, and literature.
