As an MD/PhD student, I plan to become a physician scientist who provides and advances care for the autism community. I have completed my first two years of medical training and am now in my second year of graduate school in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences.
My research focuses on the integration of vision and somatosensation in autism spectrum disorder. By investigating how people use visual, tactile, and proprioceptive information, I hope to understand what causes overwhelming sensory experiences in autism and destigmatize self-stimulatory behaviors (aka stimming).
