I’m a researcher in the Silver lab, with a PhD from the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Bioengineering Program where I studied sensory neuroscience, as well as a BSEE from UC Berkeley in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science. After twenty-five years in public education teaching community college (with sabbaticals spent in the Silver Lab) I am excited to shift my focus back into the lab. I have a long-standing interest in exploring psychedelics as tools to deepen our understanding of neuroscience, as well as their potential for healing and personal exploration. I am currently using neuroimaging and other techniques to investigate the mechanisms of psychedelics, as well as to explore the neural correlates associated with their clinical use in psychotherapy.
