My research interests include the intersection between Neuroscience and the Performing Arts. As someone who grew up interested in the field of Medicine, but who also loved dancing in Ballet and performing piano pieces, I wondered how much of an impact these two had on my personal life. I decided to begin a research project that highlighted the possible effects that the performing arts could have on Academic Achievement, Mental Health, and Social Well-Being. I began this research in a mixed-method manner, by using both qualitative and quantitative data in order to triangulate my findings. Last year, I was chosen to become a College House Research Fellow, and this year, I hope to continue to make my findings stronger!
