Short Bio
I earned my Ph.D. at McGill University investigating sex differences in the effect of age on brain structure, function, and cognition in healthy aging. My work in the FemiLab and LREN continues to focus on the role of sex and gender differences in brain and cognitive aging, and how risk and lifestyle factors delineate healthy from pathological aging trajectories. I am supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Post-doctoral Fellowship award.
