I am currently a Masters student in the Psychological Research program at San Francisco State University. Since July 2009, I have worked in Ezequiel Morsella’s Action and Consciousness Lab, conducting a variety of research projects, investigating the interactions between representations in working memory, ideomotor processing, and the subjective effects of random experience. 

Broadly, I am interested in the dynamics involved in central processing, including Working Memory, Attention, Cognitive Control, and Executive Functioning.  I am interested in the ways in which lower-level systems (e.g., vision, semantic processing) interact and ultimately lead to complex, higher-order behaviors. I believe that a key component in understanding these behaviors is illuminating the emergent properties that are manifested in the interactions between systems and representations in the brain.
