Personal

I am passionate about understanding the mechanisms underlying learning and decision-making in aging adults. Currently I'm involved in projects investigating credit assignment and the influence of learning schedules on memory performance in older adults at Schuck Lab. Besides research, I enjoy practicing mindfulness and attempting to master the German language.
