Background
Biography
I am a PhD Candidate under the supervision of Dr. Penny Pexman in the Language Processing Lab. I'm currently investigating the relationship between embodied language processing and individual difference in mental imagery. I apply both behavioural and neuroimaging methods in my research to better understand how people understand the meaning of concepts. I am an advocate for increased equity, diversity, and inclusion in academic research and strong proponent of open science practices.
